Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: A method for cleft palate repair was used for the purpose of diminishing surgical interference with maxillary growth. METHOD: Sixteen cases of cleft palate were repaired with bilateral buccal musculomucosal flaps. RESULT: The operation results in all cases were satisfactory. CONCLUSION: It is concluded: 1. The method does not traumatize the periosteum of the hard palate, thus alleviating postoperative maxillary deformity; 2. The buccal musculomucosal flap is generally long enough to reach across the incisive foramen and maintain good blood circulation; 3. The method benefits reconstruction of the levator sling and facilitates velopharyngeal closure.
