I-Introduction

The cleft lip and palate (CLP) is one of the most common congenital
malformations in the human race, it is caused by lack of fusion of the embryonic
facial processes. The anatomic impairment appears as a cleft lip and / or palate,
and it may occur with a frequency of 1:700 births (MURRAY, 2002). In Brazil it is
estimated that between the CLP reaches 1.24 and 1.54 per 1000 live births (NAGEM
FILHO et al, 1968; FRANÇA & LOCKS, 2003, NUNES et al, 2007). Surgical repair of
primary cleft palate and / or so-called soft palatoplasty is a surgical procedure for
anatomical and functional reconstruction of this structure (BERTIER & TRINDADE,
2007; KUMMER, 2001a).

There are numbers of techniques for palatoplasty, in which surgeons choose their
approach, according to its received notions and experience (SHPRINTZEN &
BARDACH, 1995). In the Service of Plastic Surgery Craniomaxillofacial of HCPA it
was used for many years the VW-K + B technique in practically all cases. This
technique uses the concepts of VY palatoplasty in order to obtain a good stretch of
the anteroposterior palate, along with the basis on the intravelar veloplasty
(posterior muscle) from BRAITHWAITE (1964), which provides the reorganization of
the whole muscle of the soft palate. In the middle of 2003 the staff switched to a
modification of the V-W-K + B called V-W-K + B + Z (Veau-Wardill-Kilner+
Braithwaite+Zetaplasty). This hybrid technique uses the concepts of V-Y
palatoplasty in order to obtain a good stretch of the anteroposterior palate, which is
complemented by the notions of intravelar veloplasty (posterior muscle) from
BRAITHWAITE (1964), promoting the reorganization of the whole muscle of the soft
palate . To stretch the nasal mucosa, it was used the Z-plasty, which is
characterized by the transposition of two scissorings with triangular shapes (FROES
FILHO, 2003). FURLOW idealized palatoplasty through the double reverse zetaplasty
that takes place on the posterior palate, one in the oral mucosa of the soft palate
and the other with reverse orientation, in the nasal mucosa of the soft palate with
retropositioning of hoist posterior muscles of the palate (BERTIER & TRINDADE,
2007; FURLOW, 1986, D'ANTONIO et al 2000).

The main goal of palatoplasty is not only restoring the anatomy of the palate (LEOW
& LO, 2008), but also promote an adequate velopharyngeal function that
consequently provides conditions for the production of speech without changes
(PEGORARO-KROOK et al, 2004). However, many times even after the patient has
palatoplasty, the ladder presentas the velopharyngeal function changed, which
settles the presence of harmful symptoms to the speech. The most common
symptoms are hypernasality, the nasal air escape and compensatory articulation
disorder (D'ANTONIO & SCHERER, 1995; TRINDADE & TRINDADE, 1996; ALTMANN,
1997; KUMMER, 2001a; GENARO et al, 2007).

Methods of evaluation of the velopharyngeal function can be divided into direct and
indirect. Direct methods allow the evaluator to visualize the structures in
velopharyngeal closure, as well, to observe how these structures move in the
swallowing, speech and others other functions. On the other hand, there are indirect
assessments which provide data on the functional outcomes of velopharyngeal
activity, which allow experts to make inferences about the appropriation or
otherwise of velopharyngeal function (GENARO et al, 2004; TRINDADE ET al, 2007).

The perceptual evaluation is used as a method for initial evaluation by the majority
of physicians who investigate the velopharyngeal function. It is an indirect method,
because it is considered that the human ear is a "tool" and the perceptual spread of
velopharyngeal function are used to make inferences about the velopharyngeal
mechanism. The hearing trial indicates the clinical relevance of the signs of
velopharyngeal dysfunction for both for the speaker as the listener. Moreover, it
contributes to the diagnosis along with information from clinical history, physical
examination and instrumental of the patient (PEGORARO-KROOK, 1995; TRINDADE
& TRINDADE, 1996; SELL et al, 1999; KUMMER, 2001a; SHPRINTZEN, 2005).
However, for diagnosis, therapeutic procedure, and also get the functional results of
the surgical technique of the palate reconstruction, it is necessary, at least, to carry
out an evaluation among the many available tools. The videonasoendoscopy is one
the most common used tests in clinical practice, and allows physicians to
investigate the nature, extent of the problem in the structures and functions of the
velopharyngeal mechanism. In this, it is possible to observe the patterns of closure
(or even, the best attempt of occlusion) of the EVF including speech with specific
features and degree of movement of the soft palate and pharyngeal walls
(WILLIAMS, 1998; KUEHN & HENNE, 2003; SHPRINTZEN, 2004; TRINDADE et al,
2007; PEGORARO-KROOK et al, 2008, AMERICAN CLEFT PALATE-CRANIOFACIAL
ASSOCIATION, 2007; BZOCH, 2004; GENARO et al, 2007; LESSA, 1996).

It was found no studies investigating the different palatoplasty techniques and its
clinical results in the current literature. However, there are few studies in the
current literature that attempt to control most of the already known facts, which
might influence the palatoplasty results, such as, a single surgeon perform all
primary palatoplasty in one or more techniques; influence of speech therapy, and
especially, the homogeneity of the sample characterized by morphometrical
measurements of the palate in the same type of cleft.

This study aimed to compare the results of instrumental and perceptual evaluations
of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate operated by three different
palatoplasty techniques.

III-Anatomy

Cleft palate is a condition in which the two plates of the skull that form the
hard palate (roof of the mouth) are not completely joined. The soft palate is in these
cases cleft as well. In most cases, cleft lip is also present. Cleft palate occurs in
about one in 700 live births worldwide.[2]
Palate cleft can occur as complete (soft and hard palate, possibly including a gap in
the jaw) or incomplete (a 'hole' in the roof of the mouth, usually as a cleft soft
palate). When cleft palate occurs, the uvula is usually split. It occurs due to the
failure of fusion of the lateral palatine processes, the nasal septum, and/or the
median palatine processes (formation of the secondary palate).
The hole in the roof of the mouth caused by a cleft connects the mouth directly to
the nasal cavity.
Note: the next images show the roof of the mouth. The top shows the nose, the lips
are colored pink. For clarity the images depict a toothless infant.

Incomplete cleft Unilateral complete lip and Bilateral complete lip and
palate palate palate
A direct result of an open connection between the oral cavity and nasal cavity is
velopharyngeal inadequacy (VPI). Because of the gap, air leaks into the nasal cavity
resulting in a hypernasal voice resonance and nasal emissions.[3] Secondary effects
of VPI include speech articulation errors (e.g., distortions, substitutions, and
omissions) and compensatory misarticulations (e.g., glottal stops and posterior
nasal fricatives).[4]. Possible treatment options include speech therapy, prosthetics,
augmentation of the posterior pharyngeal wall, lengthening of the palate, and
surgical procedures.[3]
Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) can also occur, which is an occult cleft of the soft
palate with a classic clinical triad of bifid uvula, a furrow along the midline of the
soft palate, and a notch in the posterior margin of the hard palate.[5]

IV-SURGICAL PROCEDURE

Bilateral nasolabial repair is undertaken at age 4 to 5 months, after completion of

Latham presurgical orthopedics. Several important points in design and execution of
bilateral nasolabial closure are underscored.

Incisions
The philtral flap is drawn with slightly biconcave sides because of the tendency for
the scars to bow. The dimensions of the philtral flap are chosen based on the race
and age of the infant and the parents’ appearance. At the columellar–labial junction
(cphscphs), the width is 2 mm. The distance from peakto- peak of the Cupid’s bow
(cphi cphi) is set at 3.5 to 4.0 mm. Usually, the full cutaneous height of the
prolabium is used, but the philtral flap may be shortened if there is concern about
excessive vertical labial growth. A strip of skin on each side of the philtral flap is
outlined. These flanking flaps are deepithelialized and will come to lie beneath the
lateral labial flaps in an effort to simulate philtral ridges. The proposed peaks of the
Cupid’s bow are sited on the lateral labial elements to provide a white roll for the
handle of the bow and ample vermilion for the median tubercle (Fig 2, left).
Dissection
The lateral labial elements are dissected from the anteriAor maxillae, extending
over the malars in the preperiosteal plane. The orbicular muscular bundles are
dissected in the subdermal and submucosal planes (Fig 2, center). The splayed alar
cartilages are exposed through bilateral rim incisions (Fig 2, right).

Closure
Closure begins with construction of the nasal floors using lateral and medial
mucosal flaps. Gingivomucoperiosteal flaps are apposed to close the alveolar clefts.
The premaxillary mucosa (and tiny band of prolabial vermilion) is trimmed, and the
remaining leaflet of mucosa is sutured to the premaxillary periosteum to form the
posterior wall of the anterior sulcus (Fig 3, left). Special effort is made to accentuate
mesial advancement of the lateral labial elements during closure of the
gingivolabial sulci. These lateral mucosal flaps form the anterior wall of the anterior
sulcus. The orbicular muscles are apposed, inferiorly- to-superiorly, and the
uppermost (nonresorbable) suture secures the pars peripheralis to the periosteum
of the anterior nasal spine (Fig 3, center). The median tubercle should be
constructed to be as full as possible, including careful alignment of the vermilion–
mucosal junctions. There is a tendency not to trim enough vermilion–mucosa from
the tips of the lateral labial flaps during construction of the median raphe. Efforts to
form a realistic dimple seem just beyond the reach of the surgeon’s craft. Nasal
correction is initiated before joining the philtral flap to the handle of the Cupid’s
bow. Exposure through bilateral rim incisions permits placement of an interdomal
mattress suture to appose the genua and middle crura. Another mattress suture is
inserted on each side to suspend the lateral genu (and lateral crus) to the ipsilateral
upper lateral cartilage (Fig 4, left). The alar bases are transposed medially and
trimmed to construct the nostril sills and reduce nasal width. The interalar
dimension is narrowed further (22–24 mm) using a nonresorbable cinch suture
between the bases. Furthermore, the alar bases should be secured to the
underlying muscle and maxillary periosteum to 1) lower the position of each base,
2) form the normal cymal shape of the lateral sill, and 3) prevent nostril elevation
with smiling (normal function of the depressor alae nasi) (Fig 4, right). Attention is
redirected toward completion of the
labial closure. Rarely is it necessary to trim the edge of the lateral labial flaps before
closure of the philtrum. A skin hook is used to advance each lateral labial flap as the
cephalic margin is trimmed (cymal curve) during closure of the alar–labial junction.
After the alar cartilages are positioned, extra skin in the domal soft triangles
becomes obvious, and this is excised along with a crescent of lateral columella (Fig
5, left). This sculpting narrows the tip, defines the columellar–lobular junction,
elongates the nostrils (and columella), and tapers the columellar waist. The
constructed columella should measure 5 to 7 mm (sn-c). If the alar cartilages are
particularly thin, an internal resorbable splint is inserted to protect them during the
healing phase.21 Typically, there is a redundancy of lateral vestibular lining; this
web is accentuated by encroachment of the lateral crus. Lenticular excision of the
web along the inter- cartilaginous line corrects both problems (Fig 5, inset).

Prior to operation:

• A careful history and physical examination are performed to exclude the

possibility of other gastrointestinal diseases that may mimic biliary colic, such
as peptic ulcer disease or reflux esophagitis.
• When the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis is suspected the patient should
receive nothing by mouth; however, nasogastric suction usually can be
reserved for patients who are vomiting or have ileus and abdominal
distention.
• Intravenous fluids are given to correct volume depletion and any electrolyte
imbalances are measured and corrected. Monitor and regulate IVFs
• The nurse instructs the patient about the need to avoid smoking to enhance
pulmonary recovery postoperatively and avoid respiratory complications. It is
 also important to instruct the patient to avoid the use of aspirin and other
agents that can alter coagulation and other biochemical process
• On of the most important responsibility of the nurse is to let the patient sign
an informed consent regarding the surgery.
• The patient is given anaesthesia prior to surgery and the patient is under
NPO.
During the operation

• Monitoring the vital signs of the patient is one of the responsibilities of the
nurse during the surgery.
• Assisting the anesthesia care provider during induction of general anesthesia
• Ensuring adequate oxygenation and hydration
After the operation

• After recovery, the nurse places the patient in the low fowler’s position. IV
fluids may be given and nasogastric suction may be given to relieve
abdominal distention. Water and other fluids are given in about 24hours, and
soft diet is started when bowel sounds returned.
• Placing warm blankets on the patient to enhance comfort and preserve the
patient's body temperature
• Assessing the patient's vital signs, oxygen saturation level, level of
consciousness, circulation, pain, IV site, fluid rate, and hydration status, as
well as the status of the surgical site and dressing and all related monitoring
equipment
• The nurse helps in relieving the pain by instructing the patient regarding
proper positioning.
• The nurse helps in improving the respiratory status by instructing the patient
regarding deep breathing exercises.
• The nurse also provides skin care like cleaning the incision part and providing
clean dressing following a strict aseptic technique
• The nurse instructs the patient about the medications that are prescribed by
the physician
• Discussing recommended follow-up management with the physician and the
surgeon
