[Adenotonsillectomy in children with cleft palate. Indication, procedure, and results of 20 operations (author's transl)].
Between 1972 and 1978 adenotonsillectomy was performed in 20 children with cleft palate. There was a reduction in the infection rate with a reduced incidence of hearing loss and maxillary sinusitis. A slight risk of speech impairment has been reported but is acceptable with regard to the advantages. When indicated, a scrupulous adenotonsillectomy in cleft palate children is justified.
