[The closing of large residual palatal and velum clefts using tongue flaps].
The author, after outlining the problems associated with palatoplasty, gives a detailed description of present methods of operation for cleft palate and cleft velum palatinum. Experience gained in the treatment of six patients, where a pedunculated lingual flap was used to repair the oral defect, shows that this particular method is a valuable addition to the techniques already available to the surgeon.
