Closure of Palatal Fistula with a Local Mucoperiosteal Flap Lined with Buccal Mucosal Graft

Abstract

Our proposed surgical procedure for fistula closure using a standard mucoperiosteal flap lined with a buccal mucosal graft is a suitable alternative for the repair of postpalatoplasty oro-nasal fistulas. Further study and long-term follow-up is needed to establish this method as a new standard form of repair.
