Summary

Evaluation of the incidence of palatal fistula in Furlow double-opposing z-plasty versus two-flap palatoplasty for cleft palate repair.

Conditions

  • Fistula of Soft Palate (Disorder)

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Furlow double opposing z-plasty

\* Furlow, (1986) has described a technique for palatoplasty combining the principles of mucosal lengthening with creation of an intact muscular sling in the palate with double opposing Z-plasty. On the soft palate, mirror image Z-plasties are drawn, one for the nasal musoca and the other oral flaps, the nasal flaps are developed and closed first .The oral flaps are then approximated. The defect created usually closes readily. The closure lines of the two soft plate layers do not overlap, minimizing the potential for contracture. Also, this repair permits closure of the hard palate without lateral incisions

PROCEDURE

Two flap palatoplasty

design the 2-flap palatoplasty, with a 2-layer closure in the hard palate and 3-layer closure in the soft palate,
