29. Surgical outcomes of small double-opposing Z-plasty for patients with complete unilateral cleft palate
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cleft palate is one of the most common anomalies of the face which affects feeding and speech functions, facial growth and further psycho-socio problems. Palatoplasty plays a vital role in recovering both anatomic and functional aspects of the patients. Our research was conducted on 30 complete unilateral cleft palate (CUCP) who underwent small double-opposing Z-plasty in National Children’s Hospital from June 2021 to August 2022. The average age of the patients was 15.5 (months), average width between two posterior nasal spine was 11.28 ± 1.75 (mm) and average length of the palatal was 37.77 ± 3.76 (mm). Post-operation, the palatal elongated of average 3.40 ± 1.43 (mm). Immediate complication rates were 6.7% with 2 patients who had mild swollen and infection at surgical site. At least 2 months after the surgeries, all patients were reevaluated. Good healing was achieved in 90.0% without any complication. 6.7% had atypical uvula shape. 3.3% (1 out of 30) were rated as Failed due to separation of the uvula.
