ABSTRACT
The Aim Of This Study Was To Assess The Incidence Of Fistula In Isolated Cleft Palate Patients Repaired By Furlow Double-opposing Z-plasty Versus Two-flap Palatoplasty At Different Follow-up Periods. One Case Of The Furlow Group Showed Fistula Formation. However, Three Cases Had Nasal Regurgitation Only In The Two Flap Group. Amount Of Intra-operative Blood Loss Was Significant In The Furlow Group; It Was Mostly Related To The Extent Of The Surgical Field And Time Of Surgery.
