Ten of 11 patients who developed oronasal fistulae subsequent to palatoplasty and/or pharyngeal flap operation obtained complete physiological closure of the fistula by using a vinyl palatal appliance for a two to three month period. All these fistulae were diagnosed within 10 days to two weeks after the surgery, and the appliance therapy was started immediately. We believe this treatment to be an effective, uncomplicated method for non-surgical closure of recent postoperative oronasal fistulae.
在腭裂修复术和/或咽瓣手术后出现口鼻瘘的11例患者中，有10例通过使用乙烯基腭托装置两到三个月，使瘘口完全生理性闭合。所有这些瘘口均在术后10天至两周内确诊，并且立即开始采用该装置进行治疗。我们认为这种治疗方法是一种有效、简便的非手术闭合近期术后口鼻瘘的方法。
