Background:

Cleft palate repair presents surgical challenges, often requiring complex techniques to achieve optimal outcomes.
Existing palatoplasty methods may have limitations regarding tissue elongation and midline stability.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of a novel hybrid palatoplasty technique for Veau Class II cleft palate.
To assess the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of combining Von Langenbeck and V-Y pushback palatoplasty.

Main Methods:

A 14-month-old child with Veau Class II cleft palate underwent a hybrid palatoplasty.
Von Langenbeck palatoplasty was utilized for the right palate, and V-Y pushback palatoplasty for the left.
Surgical outcomes, including cleft elongation and midline incision balance, were assessed.

Main Results:

The hybrid technique, termed "half-and-half palatoplasty," successfully elongated the cleft by 10 mm.
The uvula and midline incisions remained balanced postoperatively, contrary to initial concerns.
No significant intraoperative complications were reported.

Conclusions:

The "half-and-half palatoplasty" demonstrates potential as an effective method for Veau Class II cleft palate repair.
This hybrid approach may offer a solution to minimize complications associated with traditional palatoplasty techniques.
Further long-term follow-up studies are planned to validate these findings.
