What's the difference between palatoplasty and staphyloplasty?
Palatoplasty
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) Of these, 149 patients had a Langenbeck palatoplasty and 188 a V-Y pushback palatoplasty.
(2) An experience of 154 patients undergoing palatoplasty or pharyngeal flap surgery at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center (Sacramento) was retrospectively analyzed.
(3) The authors present the final conclusions of a comparative study performed on a population of 26 patients, who underwent palatoplasties following the Push-Back and modified Longebeck techniques.
(4) Since there were relatively small numbers of subjects in some categories, differences in age at last examination between the von Langenbeck and V-Y palatoplasty groups, some patients were very young at time of evaluation, and a number of different surgeons at different levels of training and experience performed the surgery, the differences in velopharyngeal competence found should be viewed as trends and this report as preliminary.
(5) In 20 children with cleft palates age 1.5 to 2 years, respiratory parameters were evaluated before, 15 minutes after, and 1 hour after palatoplasty.
(6) The findings from a sample of 51 patients were that surgical retropositioning and approximation of the levator muscles during initial palatoplasty (1) did not demonstrably affect the incidence of postpalatoplasty auditory perceptual symptoms of velopharyngeal incompetence; (2) required a significantly longer operating time; (3) were costlier than the control procedure; and (4) did not have greater morbidity than the control procedure.
(7) We have reported previously on a palatoplasty method, called the T-shaped musculomucosal buccal flap method, for the primary repair of a cleft palate.
(8) When comparing all cleft types, the V-Y palatoplasty resulted in a significantly higher percentage of velopharyngeal competence (74 per cent) than did the von Langenbeck method (56 per cent), although the data for the V-Y group are probably less reliable than those for the von Langenbeck group.
(9) Previously published data on the mucosal cleavage lines were compared with data on the formation of scar tissue after palatoplasty and it was found that, in the palate and surrounding tissues, scar formation is light when incisions are parallel to the long axis of the cleavage lines but severe when incisions are made at right angles to the cleavage lines.
(10) The early results (up to 6 years) of 40 palatoplasties performed at the ages of 3-6 months are roughly evaluated and discussed.
(11) Group III had surgically created clefts of the lip, alveolus, and palate with the palatal clept having been repaired using a two-flap palatoplasty.
(12) The increase in blood lactate and pyruvate was greater in palatoplasty group, indicating an enhanced anaerobic metabolism in peripheral tissues, probably due to larger surgical stress and longer anesthesia.
(13) There were 114 palatoplasties, 37 pharyngeal flaps, and three combined palatoplasty and pharyngeal flap procedures performed.
(14) In spite of presurgical orthodontic treatment, after a labio- and palatoplasty in continuous uni- and bilateral clefts of the lip, alveolus bone, and palate, anomalies of the dental arch, occlusion, jaw size and position can appear.
(15) The study reviews oronasal fistulae occurring after palatoplasty.
(16) Sixty-one cases of various cleft palate and velopharyngeal incompetence after palatoplasty repair using the Furlow's double Z-plasty technique have been reported.
(17) Intraoral surgery (such as cleft palate repair and palatoplasty) can also be technically difficult for the surgeon resulting in prolonged retraction on the tongue with a mouth gag to provide adequate surgical exposure.
(18) This study was designed to assess the effects of raising mucoperiosteal flaps and exposing palatal bone at the time of palatoplasty.
(19) The effect of von Langenbeck palatoplasty and pharyngeal flap surgery on upper airway obstruction during sleep was studied by obtaining polysomnographic sleep studies on 10 patients undergoing each procedure at 1 to 2 days prior to surgery, 2 to 3 days postoperatively, and approximately 3 months postoperatively.
(20) Controversy rages in the literature over the possibility of denervation and atrophy of the palate that may occur secondary to severance of the greater palatine neurovascular bundles during palatoplasty.
Staphyloplasty
Definition:
(n.) The operation for restoring or replacing the soft palate when it has been lost.
Example Sentences:
(1) The author analyses clinical observations in 400 patients with congenital non-union of the palate and 150 cases with palatine-pharyngeal insufficiency who had undergone uranium-staphyloplasty and presents data on characteristics of the defects and non-union, ways of their elimination and elements of methods used.
