Surgery
Cleft Palate Exam 2
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| When does primary lip surgery take place? | 8 - 10 wks |
| What is the rule of 10s? | Hemoglobin 10 g/dl, weight 10 lbs., and 10 wks for surgery on babies cleft lip |
| Goals of first cleft surgery | Accurate membrane union, symmetrical nasal floor, minimal scar, normal philtrum, no alar collapse |
| Which muscle is divided during 1st cleft surgery? | Obicularis orisis |
| Types of lip repair | Straight line, triangular repair, rotational advancement |
| Straight line repair | Works for small cleft unilaterally, suture together in a straight line |
| Trianular repar | Lengthens the philtrum, cut is farther down and suture into triangle, 2nd most common |
| Rotational Advancement | Most widely used, 80% of surgeries. high up, pull each side together |
| How do they ensure skin comes together? | Taping prior to surgery for better outcomes on lip |
| NAM or PNAM | Shapes and improves the position of the nose symmetry before surgery, given during 1st week of life, wear 24 hrs./day, dental visits weekly, new 3-6 months |
| What affects candidacy for PNAM or NAM? | Personal, affordability, access to follow-up, sleep apnea/med concerns |
| Latham appliance | Rotate alveolar segment, bring it all together before surgery, minimize skin stretching and reduce possibility of bone graft later |
| What is more simple than Latham but does the same thing? | Lip taping |
| Goals of palate repair | Closure for normal growth, remove elevator from hard palate to create sling, bulk to velum, improve middle ear function |
| When does palate repair take place? | 9-18 months |
| What is the early vs late issue? | Some argue that boney anatomy can affect other structures so should do palate repair later |
| Why is early repair better? | Less pervasive faulty arctic. |
| If there is no syndromes affecting... | Should do surgery before 1 year if possible |
| 3 main types of palate repair | Von Langenbeck, V-Y, Furlow paltoplasty |
| Von Langenbeck | Elevate mucoperisium, least common |
| V-Y Pushbak | Retroposition and fill-in gap with material to grow |
| Furlow Palatoplasty | Lengthen velum, most common, cut in z suture which causes velum to stretch, best if the palate is short |
| Why is secondary palate repair done? | Close palatal fistula, correction of maxillary/mandibular issue, correct velopharyngeal dysfunction |
| What is more important for SLP, primary or secondary surgery? | Secondary, VP closure, often this is for speech, prior to 12 months they aren't talking |
| Palatal/Oronasal Fistula | Opening b/t oral and nasal cavities leading to nasal emissions or hypernasality, compensatory arctic., nasal regurgitation |
| What happens if palatal fistula is large? | Hypernasality |
| What happens if palatal fistula is small/medium? | Nasal emissions, whistle sound |
| Types of secondary palate repair | Pharyngeal flap, Sphincterpharyngoplasty |
| Pharyngeal flap | Midline flap with lateral post for breathing, inserted into PPW |
| When is the pharyngeal flap best recommended? | Weak velum and strong lateral pharyngeal walls (lateral walls need to move to close, velum often hypotonic) |
| What is an age where good speech sample with nasal endoscope is possible to assess velum function for recommendation for secondary surgeries? | 3-5ys |
| Complications associated with pharyngeal flap | Obstructive sleep apnea (most common), snoring, anesthesia complications |
| Sphincterpharyngoplasty | Pharyngeal flaps for more narrow sphincter |
| What secondary surgery is better for small VP gap? | Sphincterpharyngoplasty |
| What secondary surgery is better for large VP gap? | Pharygenal Flap |
| When is the sphincterpharyngoplasty best recommended? | Poor pharyngeal wall movement but good velar movement, essential this surgery makes sphincter smaller by creating bulk on sides of lateral pharyngeal walls |
| <4 mm | Sphincterpharyngeoplasty |
