What is palatoplasty?
Patoloplasty is a procedure for corrective surgery used for individuals who have a cleft floor, a type of congenital defect that affects the face. The surgeon performs a procedure to repair an unusual opening between the mouth and nose of the patient. The closure of this opening can help the patient speak, breathe and normally swallow. The procedure can also facilitate the normal development of other parts of the mouth. The scope of the floor of the floor may vary from man to man. This may affect a small part of the floor or include extensive opening. The cleft may even spread to the nose. The presence of cleft palate makes eating and speaking. The condition also contributes to frequent ears.
The patient may have palatoplasty at any age, but surgery is usually performed in children who are between six months to one year. Children of this age Range tend to heal faster and are well suitable for surgery because tissue in the area is still evolving. Performing surgery at this age can also help prevent forBlemus with speech development before they happen.
During the procedure of palatoplasty, patients are usually given general anesthesia. This ensures that the patient remains to sleep throughout the operation. The intravenous tube called IV line is inserted into the patient's vein before the operation starts. The tube supplies medicines and liquids when the procedure takes place during the recovery time in the hospital.
The surgeon works on the patient's floor by passing through his mouth. It works to connect tissue on both sides of the floor hole and sewing the stitches. If the cleft floor includes the nose, it also closes the opening. The operation is usually completed in three hours or Less. The patient usually remains in the hospital for several days after the procedure is completed.
The risk of complications with palatoplasty is like the risks of other types of surgery. The patient may have a response to anesthesia and medicines that are used, develop problems with blood clotting or experience onTyntive bleeding. There is also a potential for complications specific to this procedure, including blocking the airways and irregular healing of the affected tissue. Other operations are sometimes required to correct the problems caused by the first operations.
