Plain-language summary

Aim : The aim of present study was to evaluate the buccinator flap utilization in primary cleft palatoplasty on fistulation rate. Methodology: forty six patients suffering from complete wide cleft palate were randomly divided into two equal groups: study group: the cleft palate defect was repaired by buccinator myomucosal flap whereas the control group patients' clefts were repaired by Bardach (two flap) palatoplasty during primary repair. All patients evaluated at 1 week,3,6 months interval to detect fistulation and measure palatal length by taking impressions and pouring casts to measure palatal length.
