ICCPCA Cleft Webinar: Cleft palate repair- What I wish I’d known- Brian Sommerlad

0

Upcoming webinar: Cleft palate repair-What I wish I’d known: Keynote by Dr Brian Sommerlad + Panel Discussion with Dr Romesh Gunasekara & Dr Luqman Majid

Brian Sommerlad has shared an outline of his talk (below).

CLEFT PALATE REPAIR –

Programme Outline (as shared by Brian Sommerlad):
What I know (or think I know!)

  • Instruments and magnification
  • Anatomy
  • Peri-operative
  • My technique
  • Outcomes

What I wish I had known

  • The value of lateral videofluoroscopy in understanding palate function
  • Using the microscope for palate repair– requires perseverance
  • The damage caused by the VWK pushback
  • The benefits of closing the hard palate by a vomerine flap at lip repair

What I don’t know (and perhaps no-one knows)

  • The role of the tensor?
  • Whether to preserve the fascia around the levator?
  • How to manage the descending and transverse fibres of palate-pharyngeus?
  • How radically is it safe mobilise the greater neuro-vascular bundle?
  • How far back should the levator be retro-positioned?
  • Is there a place for lengthening the palate at primary repair?
  • How radical can muscle dissection be?
  • What is the optimal age for palate repair?
  • Does radical muscle repair improve Eustachian function and hearing?
  • Is submucous cleft palate a different condition to isolated cleft palate?
  • What are the arguments for and against the Furlow palatoplasty?
  • Is one operation right for every surgeon?

Final message

  • Surgical skill is most important
  • Numbers are important
  • Know your outcomes
  • Work as part of a team
