In 1984, Glassman et al. described a conservative surgical method of separation of the midpalatal suture in which an osteotomy is done only at the lateral and anterior wall of the maxilla. Between 1991 and 1997, we have operated on 21 patients with maxillary transverse discrepancies using the method that they described. This gave good results in 20 patients. The other, who was operated on at the age of 38 years, developed a fracture of the alveolar process of the maxilla on one side because of ossification of the midpalatal suture. The surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion described by Glassman et al. is suitable for patients up to the age of 30. Older patients require additional surgical separation of the midpalatal suture.
1984年，格拉斯曼等人描述了一种保守的腭中缝分离手术方法，即仅在上颌骨的外侧壁和前壁进行截骨术。1991年至1997年期间，我们采用他们描述的方法对21例上颌横向差异患者进行了手术。20例患者取得了良好效果。另一名患者38岁接受手术，由于腭中缝骨化，一侧上颌牙槽突发生骨折。格拉斯曼等人描述的外科辅助快速腭扩展术适用于30岁以下的患者。年龄较大的患者需要额外进行腭中缝分离手术。
