Re-examination under general anesthesia with endoscopic micro-debridement of granulation tissue is a safe, potentially effective adjunct when done during the proliferative phase of neochoanal wound healing. This procedure might help in maintaining neochoanal patency by remodeling tissue healing process. Large-scale, long-term cohort studies are imperative.
