  • Title: A technique for repair of the 'unrepairable' cleft palate.
    Author: Hill C, Riaz M, Leonard AG.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1999 Dec; 52(8):658-60. PubMed ID: 10658138.
    Abstract:
    The 'unrepairable' cleft palate may be described as one in which the width of the cleft exceeds the sum of the widths of the palatal shelves. A report of such a case is presented, and the technique used to repair the cleft using bilateral buccinator musculomucosal flaps is described. It is offered as a suggested technique for the management of such cases in the future.
