Abstract:
Objective:To study the effects of poly-DL-lactic acid(PDLLA) biomembrane in the repair of cleft hard palate. Methods:Thirty-two cleft palate patients, age 2.67 to 12.83 years old, were treated. The traditional surgical method was used to close the cleft soft palate, and the PDLLA biomembrane was implanted into the surgical gap between the periosteum and bone at the hard palate and fixed with suture to close the cleft hard palate. Clinical follow-up was conducted for 6 months.Results:Operations on all 32 patients were completed successfully.The average surgical time was not prolonged, and post-operative complication was not increased. Wound healing of soft palate, uvula and hard palate was uneventful with no incidence of fistula or dehiscence. Conclusion: PDLLA absorbable biomembrane can be used to repair cleft hard palate.
