  • Title: Surgical closure of large oroantral fistulas using a palatal island flap.
    Author: James RB.
    Journal: J Oral Surg; 1980 Aug; 38(8):591-5. PubMed ID: 6930460.
    Abstract:
    Modification of the palatal island flap used in cleft palate surgery has been used in 39 patients with large (1.5 to 3 cm in diameter) oroantral fistulas. The high success rate can be attributed to the flap's excellent blood supply, bulk, and mobility.
