Primary treatment of cleft palate should result in an intact palate with separation of the oral and nasal cavities. However, the published reports of large series indicate that palatal fistula present in operated cleft palate of a small but significant groups of patients. Even in the best hands, a palatal fistula of the operated cleft palate may reoccur postoperatively. Various methods of repair including local mucosal flaps have been employed to date, but fistula repair is extremely difficult because the operative field is limited by scar formation around the palatal fistula, making wound healing unsatisfactory. In such cases, a tongue flap is commonly indicated. From May of 1991 to May of 1996, among 19 patients with palatal fistula in operated cleft palate, 11 patients were operated by anteriorly-based tongue flap. All patients were followed up for at least 6 months, with mean follow up of 18 months. Among 12 cases of 11 patients included in this study, 11 flaps survived and did not recur during follow up periods. One complication was seen in the first case. In this case, there was a flap detachment from the recipient site on the 3rd postoperative day, but he was treated successfully at a subsequent operation. There have been no problems with feeding and communication until the pedicle is cut, and no patient experienced problems either with alteration in speech or with disturbance of taste sensation following surgery. In conclusion, this study shows that the anteriorly-based tongue flap is a safe and reliable technique for closure of large palatal fistula.

7.A Case of Thigh Augmentation with Silicone Prosthesis in a Poliomyelitis Patient.
Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 2002;29(6):567-570
Until now, aesthetic concerns have been focused on the face, especially on the eyes, nose and facial contour. But recently, many people have interest in the aesthetics of the trunk and extremities. There is an increasing demands for the correction or improvement of the trunk and extremity contour, especially in cases of poliomyelitis and posttraumatic deformity. Authors did the thigh augmentation with silicone prosthesis in a poliomyelitis patient. Subfascial pocket was made and prefabricated silicone implants were placed in the pocket. Circumferential differences between affected thigh and unaffected thigh were reduced from 11 cm(15 cm above knee), 9 cm(25 cm above knee) to 2.5 cm, 3 cm. No definitive complication was present. So, authors conclude that this technique is useful to obtain the good results in the aesthetic correction of asymmetric thigh.
