Filter by:Assessment of speech and the middle ear function of patients between the age of 3 and 7 years surgically treated by ARC (Furlow z-palatoplasty with a buccinator myomucosal flap) was done. Middle ear function was assessed by clinical otoscopic examination and by tympanometry to detect the presence or absence of middle ear effusion and the need for tympanostomy tubes. Speech outcomes were assessed using perceptual speech assessment for the degree of hypernasality, compensatory misarticulation and speech intelligibility. Nasopharyngoscopic examination of the patients was done for visualization of the velopharyngeal port, allowing assessment of the pattern and grade of velopharyngeal closure during speech and the presence or absence of a velopharyngeal gap
This is a retrospective study on children with cleft palate who came to the multidisciplinary cleft clinic at Sohag University Hospital from September 2017 to September 2023
This study will compare flexible , rigid feeding plates and a special feeding bottle for children with cleft palate.
the aim is to determine the value of adding bilateral supra zygomatic maxillary nerve block to general anesthesia in attenuating the systemic inflammatory response in paediatrics.
comparison of the maxillary growth between cleft palate patients that underwent to repair by 2 flap palatoplasty versus Furlow with buccinator technique
This study aimed to evaluate clinically the "Alveolar extension" technique for palatoplasty in cases of primary closure of cleft palate regarding its effect on: 1. Eruption of Primary dentition. 2. Maxillary primary teeth undergoing eruption. 3. The maxillary arch growth.
Cleft palate repair is the most important component of cleft surgery, not only in that it determines the outcome as far as speech and communication are concerned, but also in that it potentially has the greatest impact on maxillary growth and the dental arch relationship. Sommerlad technique has been described as a more physiological approach, aiming to restore the anatomy of the velum. This technique, often described as radical intravelar veloplasty, has the following distinctive components: a radical retroposition of velar musculature (m. levator veli palatini, m. palatoglossus, and m. palatopharyngeus), combined with minimal dissection of the hard palate, a tensor tenotomy, and the repair of the m. levator sling
Aim : The aim of present study was to evaluate the buccinator flap utilization in primary cleft palatoplasty on fistulation rate. Methodology: forty six patients suffering from complete wide cleft palate were randomly divided into two equal groups: study group: the cleft palate defect was repaired by buccinator myomucosal flap whereas the control group patients' clefts were repaired by Bardach (two flap) palatoplasty during primary repair. All patients evaluated at 1 week,3,6 months interval to detect fistulation and measure palatal length by taking impressions and pouring casts to measure palatal length.
This study aims to examine the effect of the usage of squeezable bottles and standard bottles on the feeding process of infants with CLP after cleft palate surgery.
Congenital cleft lip with or without cleft palate is one of the most common congenital malformations with an estimated incidence of about 1 every 500 to 700 live births. Cleft lip and palate are caused by a complex combination of many environmental and genetic factors sharing into the etiology. Patients with cleft lip and palate undergo multiple surgeries to reconstruct the anatomy and function to achieve symmetric, aesthetic, and functional nasolabial region. The most important goals of correction of the cleft are to achieve an acceptable facial appearance and psychological and social well-being for the patient and his or her family. Therefore, assessment of nasolabial appearance following cleft surgery remains an important parameter for evaluating the outcome of the procedure. Unfortunately, some residual deformities in the nasolabial region such as the abnormal shape of the nose, scar of the upper lip, uneven white roll, notched or excess vermilion border will remain noticeable. So, the assessment of secondary cleft nasolabial deformities needs a reliable rating scale. Although many scoring systems have been described in the literature, there is no globally accepted reliable one. A frequently used scoring system is the one proposed by Asher-McDade that uses frontal and lateral view masked prints of the nasolabial area. The use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging seems to be the most reliable in assessing cleft-related facial deformities. However, scoring based on two-dimensional (2D) photographs is easier to perform and more applicable in daily practice because all cleft patients are photographed during their treatment journey at predetermined intervals. Assessment of secondary nasolabial deformities in cleft patients in large numbers of patients helps compare the aesthetic results of the different treatment protocols and techniques.
