Abstract
The role of the different zones of palatal mucosa in maxillary growth are considered and their relevance in surgery of cleft palate discussed. A method of cleft palate repair is described, based on a functional repair of the soft palate, followed by later closure of the hard palate taking into account the anatomy and physiology of the palatal mucosa.Entities:
