Half-and-Half Palatoplasty

چکیده
A 14-month-old child was diagnosed with a Veau Class II cleft palate. Von Langenbeck palatoplasty was performed for the right palate, and V-Y pushback palatoplasty was performed for the left palate. The child did not have a special problem during the surgery, and the authors were able to elongate the cleft by 10 mm. Contrary to preoperative concerns regarding the hybrid use of palatoplasties, the uvula and midline incisions remained balanced in the middle. The authors named this combination method "half-and-half palatoplasty" and plan to conduct a long-term follow up study as a potential solution that minimizes the complications of palatoplasty.

Vomopalatoplasty: a novel procedure to reduce velopharyngeal distance in cleft palate repair.
Despite numerous improvements in the palatoplasty procedure, speech dysfunction tends to develop in many patients, requiring another surgery. In addition, vomer flaps have been used in palatoplasty in various shapes and on purposes. Nonetheless, they have been used mostly to cover the defect in wide and complete type of cleft palate. We introduce the vomopalatoplasty procedure that uses a vomer...
متن کاملThe Design of half-subtractor Logic Function Based on Nonlinear Directional Coupler
In this paper a novel design of all-optical half-subtractor based on nonlinear directional coupler is proposed. By using four waveguides and appropriately adjusting the refractive indices and selecting the proper length of waveguides, halfsubtractor function can be obtained. The operation of this function is simulated by RSoft CAD-Layout (BeamPROP) simulator. The simulation results confirm the ...
متن کاملGeneralized half-normal distribution: Model and properties
In this article new generalization of half-normal distribution as the half generalized normal distribution is introduced. This distribution, contains the half-normal distribution as special case. We provide mathematical properties of this distribution. We also derive the pdf, cdf, -th moment, the asymmetry and kurtosis coefficients and the moment generating function. We discuss some inferenti...
متن کاملWave Propagation at the Boundary Surface of Inviscid Fluid Half-Space and Thermoelastic Diffusion Solid Half-Space with Dual-Phase-Lag Models
The present investigation deals with the reflection and transmission phenomenon due to incident plane longitudinal wave at a plane interface between inviscid fluid half-space and a thermoelastic diffusion solid half-space with dual-phase-lag heat transfer (DPLT) and dual-phase-lag diffusion (DPLD) models. The theory of thermoelasticity with dual-phase-lag heat transfer developed by Roychoudhar...
متن کاملAn equivalent representation for weighted supremum norm on the upper half-plane
In this paper, rstly, we obtain some inequalities which estimates complex polynomials on the circles.Then, we use these estimates and a Moebius transformation to obtain the dual of this estimates forthe lines in upper half-plane. Finally, for an increasing weight on the upper half-plane withcertain properties and holomorphic functions f on the upper half-plane we obtain an equivalentrepresenta...
