Abstract
If the pedicle has been damaged during previous surgery, salvage of the mucoperiosteal flap becomes a nightmare. We describe a new technique to save the mucoperiosteal flap. This patient developed SubTotal bilateral fistula after repair of bilateral cleft palate. More than 40% of the anterior palate was lost bilaterally. Patient’s speech was unintelligible with complaints of nasal regurgitation. Nasal layer was closed by turn-in flaps while the oral layer cover was provided by advancement of the palatal-musculomucosal flaps and bilateral buccal sulcus mucosal flaps.
