title: [The uranoplasty of wide clefts in children].
abstract: Sixty children with wide palate clefts (open uni- and bilateral, and complete isolated), aged 2.5-13 years were operated on according to a new uranoplasty technique. The wounds healed by primary tension in 53 children; anatomical shape of the palate was completely restored, the palate elongated, and the pharyngeal ring narrowed. Small (0.2-0.3 sm) open defects in the soft palate remained unhealed in 5 children. Complete failure of sutures was seen in 2 children, when the method was just beginning to be introduced. Late results of treatment were followed up in 40 children over the periods of 6 months to 3 years. Good functional results were achieved in 16, satisfactory in 22, and unsatisfactory in 2 children.
