Abstract

Objective: To introduce a new method for functional cleft palate repair.Method: Posterior vomer mucoperiosteal flap(PVMF) was designed by dissecting the posterior vomer,and then each side of PVMF was sutured with the same side mucosal flap and the levator veli palatini.Result: This method was applied in 55 cases with satisfactory results of extending and elevating soft palate,and achieving velopharyngeal closure(VPC).All cases were followed up for 1～3 years,the effects of operation are stable.Conclusion: The method not only close the cleft but restore the soft palate's function of elevating and pushing back to achieve the idea VPC.
