Colgajo lingual de base anterior para cierre de fistula palatina anterior

Abstract

Abstract: Oro-nasal fistulas are the most common complication after the failed repair of the primary cleft palate, creating functional and emotional problems to people with this issue. Large fistulas are difficult to close and may require flaps with great length, width and depth, the anterior base lingual flap is one of the most successful options for fistula closure due to the similarities with local tissues, great vascularization and significantly lower fistula recurrence rates of the after surgery.
