Chronic Otitis Media in "ENT" and Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery

Traci Flynn

The purpose of this study was to examine the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic features of chronic otitis media in our setting. In patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate, the study compared the short-term results of simultaneous repair of the cleft lip and cleft hard palate with a vomer flap to cleft lip repair alone (UCLP). 35 individuals with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate who had simultaneous repair of their cleft lip and cleft hard palate with vomer flaps participated in a prospective observational study. The cleft soft palate was fixed after three months. The distance between the posterior border of the cleft hard palate and the cleft alveolus was measured during the first and second procedures. Additionally tracked were postoperative problems, blood transfusion needs, and the length of surgeries. For the treatment of cleft lip and palate in UCLP patients, simultaneous repairs of the cleft lip and closure of the cleft hard palate with vomer flaps are simple to carry out and very effective. No transfusion of blood was required. The soft palate was easier to close, the procedure took less time, and there was less possibility of nasal fistula formation due to the much reduced gaps at the posterior border of the hard palate and the alveolar cleft.
