        Help!  

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  
🗑
