Maxillectomy is done for a variety of disease conditions. Reconstruction following maxillectomy is done to restore the form and function. One of the important goals that are to be achieved in reconstruction is the separation of the oral and nasal cavities. In this article, we report the use of palatal flap by preserving the descending palatine artery during bilateral inferior partial maxillectomy, for separating the nasal cavity from the oral cavity. This technique eliminates the need for an obturator or another free or local flap for this purpose.
上颌骨切除术用于多种疾病情况。上颌骨切除术后的重建是为了恢复形态和功能。重建中要实现的重要目标之一是分隔口腔和鼻腔。在本文中，我们报告了在双侧下部分上颌骨切除术中使用保留腭降动脉的腭瓣来分隔鼻腔和口腔。该技术消除了为此目的使用堵塞器或其他游离或局部皮瓣的需要。
