Primary Cleft Palate Repair

(1 Year)

The technique is a single stage two flap palatoplasty. Semiradical dissection of all the muscles of the soft palate are done in order to mobilize and reorient the palatal muscles especially the levitator palatine. This allows not only anatomical repositioning of the muscle , but increases the length of the soft palate, thereby providing adequate velopharyngeal closure.
