The Oro-nasal-fistula is a complication of
maxillofacial trauma, even when the trauma is managed
with proper protocol. The palatal bone is relatively thin
and it has weak bony support from the adjacent bone,
which leads to increase chances of postoperative
complications such as fistula formation. The management
of palatal fistula depends on the size, site, and mode of
presentation. The two flap palatoplasty technique is used
in cleft patients for decades. This is simple, effective with
good healing of raw site and there is less chance of
recurrence. Palatal fistula can be treated by many
methods, but only a few articles are published in which
fistula as a sequel to trauma is described. Here the authors
present 4 cases of Oro-nasal-fistula, which were
successfully treated by two flap palatoplasty techniques.
The authors also briefly review every aspect and
implication of this technique.
