Surgical closure of large oroantral fistulas using a palatal island flap
Abstract:
Modification of the palatal island flap used in cleft palate surgery has been used in 39 patients with large (1.5 to 3 cm in diameter) oroantral fistulas. The high success rate can be attributed to the flap's excellent blood supply, bulk, and mobility.
