Abstract:
The 'unrepairable' cleft palate may be described as one in which the width of the cleft exceeds the sum of the widths of the palatal shelves. A report of such a case is presented, and the technique used to repair the cleft using bilateral buccinator musculomucosal flaps is described. It is offered as a suggested technique for the management of such cases in the future.
