Evaluation of Double-Layer Closure Of Anterior Palatal Fistula in Secondary Management Of Bilateral Cleft Lip And Palate

Abstract

Persistent anterior palatal fistula is particularly challenging to repair [16][17][18]. It has the highest failure rate in bilateral cleft palate patients [6,13]. Due to lack of adequate surrounding tissue [8]. Vomerine ostectomy and premaxillary setback may be useful for surgical repair of these cases [19].
