چکیده
RESULTS: 300 patients averaging 12.3 months were included. Cleft distribution included: Submucosal-1%, Veau 1–17.3%, Veau 2–38.3%, Veau 3–30.3%, Veau 4–13.0%. Pierre Robin (N=43) was the most prevalent syndrome/anomaly. 83% of patients received paralytic reversal and total narcotic dose averaged 0.19 mg/kg. 69 patients (23.0%) had an A.P.E., most frequently hypoventilation (10%) and airway obstruction (8%). Major A.P.E. included reintubation (4.7%) and laryngobronchospasm (3.3%).

Furlow palatoplasty for previously repaired cleft palate with velopharyngeal insufficiency.
OBJECTIVE Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is a common complication after cleft palate repair, it may be due to lack of levator sling reconstruction and/or palatal shortening. Furlow palatoplasty has the advantages of retro-positioning of levator palati muscles and palatal lengthening. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of Furlow palatoplasty in the treatment of VPI in patients ...
متن کاملEvaluation of two palate repair techniques for the surgical management of velopharyngeal insufficiency.
BACKGROUND The Furlow palatoplasty is commonly used for the correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency in cleft patients. An alternative procedure is introduced involving a single Z-plasty with overlapping intravelar veloplasty (Woo palatoplasty). This study compared the results of both techniques in the correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency. METHODS After institutional review board appr...
متن کاملImpact of 22q deletion syndrome on speech outcomes following primary surgery for submucous cleft palate.
BACKGROUND Patients with 22q deletion syndrome are at increased risk of submucous cleft palate and velopharyngeal insufficiency. The authors' aim is to evaluate speech outcomes following primary Furlow palatoplasty or pharyngeal flap for correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency in submucous cleft palate patients with and without 22q deletion syndrome. METHODS Records of submucous cleft pala...
متن کاملAn anatomic evaluation of the furlow double opposing Z-plasty technique of cleft palate repair.
The aim of this investigation was to examine velar anatomy following the Furlow double opposing Z-plasty in order to analyse the theoretical effects of this technique. Thirty patients with cleft lip and/or cleft palate who underwent primary Furlow palatoplasties between 1989 and 1994 were reviewed. The mean age at the time of surgery was 6.4 months. Evaluation was performed at a mean time of 2....
