Three cases of palatal fistulae closed by microvascular transfer of radial forearm flaps are presented. Vascularised bone was included in one flap and all operations were free of complications. Facial scarring is minimal and the secondary deformity in the arm has not been significant. It is suggested that this procedure presents fewer difficulties than other techniques for treating the large palatal fistula and may prevent the collapse of the alveolar arch which follows the scarring associated with closure by local tissue.
本文介绍了3例采用桡侧前臂皮瓣微血管转移修复腭裂瘘的病例。其中1例皮瓣包含带血管蒂的骨组织，所有手术均无并发症。面部瘢痕轻微，手臂的继发畸形也不明显。结果表明，与治疗大型腭裂瘘的其他技术相比，该手术难度较小，且可防止因局部组织修复导致瘢痕形成后牙槽弓塌陷。
