A baby boy born with isolated cleft palate defect was referred to our hospital for surgical correction of the cleft defect.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji performed the cleft palate repair using Palatal pushback technique. The palatal flap was raised on both right & left side. The palate muscles were reattached in their normal position & a two layer closure was done to completely reconstruct the floor of the nose and roof of the mouth. The suction test was positive which guarantees good speech.
