Cleft palate repair using a double opposing Z-plasty. Creates a long palate w/ muscle closure. Leading to great speech and feeding outcomes. Usually repaired at 10-12 months of infant age. Hard palate w/ Von Langenbeck flaps - blood supply from greater palatine artery. This is using the simulaire tool - this is great to help train residents here and surgeons in other countries to understand the 3-dimensional complexity of cleft palate repair, and hone their technical skills. Palate isn’t seen or as “sexy” as the cleft lip repair but it is just as important to achieve the ideal repair.
