Early outcomes of cleft and palatal width following anterior palate repair (vomerine flap) in infants with wide cleft lip and palate

Abstract: BackgroundAnterior palatal repair performed during cleft lip repair using a vomerine flap may assist in recruiting additional soft tissue for subsequent completion of palatoplasty, especially in patients with a wide cleft. We present our early results in the hope of triggering a re-evaluation of this technique regarding its advantages for maxillary growth through further studies of patients with a wide cleft.MethodsA retrospective analysis of patients with complete unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate… Show more

“…Though, adjunct procedures such as addition of pedicled buccal fat pad [32,33] or acellular dermal matrix may improve outcome of one stage palatoplasty [34,35]. In situations where extremely wide clefts are to be managed, procedures such as use of Facial Artery Myo Mucosal Flap (FAMM flap), islandized mucoperiosteal flap, and two-stage repair have also been employed [36][37][38][39].…”
