cleft exam 3 Flashcards
primary procedures
dieffenbach, langenback, veau VY flap, veau-wardill-killner, wardill 4 flap, vomer flap
Dieffenbach 1845 SPV MDS
- Split bone laterally along alveolar ridge
- Pack space with cotton
- Vomer separated from whichever side it was attached to
- MM resected from edge of cleft
- Holes drilled in HP
- Shelves sewn together with silk sutures (like corset)
dieffenbach issues
a. Facial growth
b. Shelves shift like tectonic plates
c. Causes distortion and need for realignment
langenback 1860 RILS
- MM resected at edge of cleft
- Lateral incisions in MP of alveolar ridge
- MP lifted, loosened from bony shelf
- MP sutured together, velum closed off
- REVOLUTIONARY- no broken bone or drilling
- CRITICISM: open space above suture inti nasal cavity→ bacteria
veau VY flap
- Veau criticized the langenback for the space above suture, which allowed for infection from nasal bacteria
- Suggested suturing flap of MP at floor of nasal cavity
- Then suturing palatine flap
- THEN suturing the flaps together
veau-wardill-kilner
PARMP SNaP SPM
- Large cleft with minimal tissue
- Incision MP along premaxilla, alveolar ridge and midline
- Flaps peeled backwards, freed from bone
- Suture MP of nasal (veau) flap
- Bring two palatine flaps together, suture
- Suture nasal and palatine flaps,
- Suture anterior aspects of flap to premaxilla
- Hope MP will grow back to cover exposed bone
wardill four flap
L3ARM SN S12 S34 S1234 SNaP
- Wide cleft- need any available MP
- Create four flaps with incisions along:
a. Midline
b. 1/3 anterior to midline
c. alveolar ridge
d. creates two posterior and two anterior flaps - close nasal MP
- suture flaps 1&2 together
- suture flaps 3&4 together
- suture 1&2 to 3&4
- suture palatine to nasal
vomer flap
MPV to MPP SPN
- Vomer is directly above cleft
- MP from vomer is peeled and brought down
- Attached to palatine MP→high arching palate
- Suture oral flap→nasal flap
pharyngeoplasty
dorrance pushback, pharyngeal flap
dorrance pushback
VF SPMP
i. Vomer flap ^
ii. Peel back palatine MP
iii. Posteriorly towards midline (diagonally)
iv. Anterior- vomer flap, oral MP
v. Posterior- palatine flap closes cleft AND lengthens palate
dorrance results
vi. NOT muscle so can’t move like true velum→ VP closure affected
vii. Immediate results
viii. Surgery fell out of favor in 60’s but is regaining popularity.
pharyngeal flap types
i. Flap from pharyngeal wall attached to posterior aspect of shortened palate/velum
v. Types
1. Pharyngeal wall Muscle M→velum MM (cleft velum?)
2. pharyngeal wall Muscle M brought in to fill cleft, sutured on either side, NO RESECTION
3. Trap door
a. Lift flap pulled up from laryngeal muscle, exposing it
b. Bring flap down from velum and attach directly to muscle
pharyngeal flap attachment
ii. Superior attachment
1. Advantages
a. Lifts velum upward and back
b. More natural
c. better speech
d. Doesn’t interfere with swallow
2. Disadvantages
a. Interfere with ET fn?
b. Adenoidectomy requires opening of flap
iii. Inferior attachment
1. Only if pharyngeal wall cant handle superior
2. Not natural, ineffective closure
3. May interfere with tongue, mouth, swallowing
pharyngeal flap results- Broadbent/Swinyard
vi. Should not cause hyponasality if flap is right size and attached correctly
vii. ADVANTAGE: Broadbent and Swinyard “pharyngeal flap is a dynamic muscular unit that can move unlike dorrance”
viii. DISADVANTAGE-
a. Painful, invasive
b. Before 6-9 mos
c. have to wait for it to heal completely (1-1.5 YEARS) before you can assess success
d. may not create adequate VPC
pharyngoplasty- muscle transposition-SP
- muscle pulled or moved from normal location
- ex- salpingopharyngeus
a. (lateral from ET→palatopharyngeus)
b. L and R SP pulled backward and sutured to pharyngeal wall
c. Contraction pulls pharyngeal wall forward to contact velum - creates more pharyngeal wall activity
- not common due to issues with swallowing, controversy
