A cleft of the palate represents one of the most common congenital anomalies of the craniofacial region. Palatal clefting can occur in combination with a cleft of the lip and alveolus or as an isolated finding and can vary significantly in severity. The intact palate is a structure that separates the oral and nasal cavities, and the function of the palate is to close off the nasal cavity during deglutition and to regulate the flow of air between the nose and mouth during speech production. An unrepaired cleft palate can thus result in nasal regurgitation of food and liquid, early feeding difficulties, and impaired speech development. The goals of surgical repair are to restore palatal integrity by closing the cleft defect and repairing the musculature to allow for normal function during speech. The secondary goal of cleft palate repair is to minimize deleterious effects on growth of the palate and face, which can be impacted by standard surgical interventions. This review describes two of the most commonly performed cleft palate repair techniques in use today, as well as highlighting special anatomic considerations, summarizing perioperative care, and reviewing postoperative complications and their management.

Overview This update focuses on current practices and controversies in surgical repair of the hard and soft palate posterior to the alveolus. Our current understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of presurgical active and passive manipulation of the hard palate shelves including the use of periosteoplasty is reviewed. The evolution of the multiple methods of repair of the hard and soft palate is given in a historical context along with a discussion of the concerns about timing of palate repair.

Objective Evaluate impact of single-stage versus staged palate repair on the risk of developing malocclusion among patients with cleft palate (CP). Design Retrospective cohort study 2000–2016 Setting Academic, tertiary children’s hospital. Patients Patients undergoing CP repair between 1999–2015. Interventions CP repair, categorized as either single-stage or staged. Main Outcome Measure Time to development of Class III malocclusion. Results 967 patients were included; 60.1% had a two-stage CP repair, and 39.9% had single-stage. Malocclusion was diagnosed in 28.2% of patients. In the model examining all patients at ≤5 years ( n = 659), patients who were not white had a higher risk of malocclusion (HR 2.46, p = 0.004) and staged repair was not protective against malocclusion (HR 0.98, p = 0.91). In all patients >5 years ( n = 411), higher Veau classification and more recent year of birth were significantly associated with higher hazard rates ( p < 0.05). Two-staged repair was not protective against developing malocclusion (HR 0.86, p = 0.60). In the model examining patients with staged repair ≤5 years old ( n = 414), higher age at hard palate closure was associated with reduced malocclusion risk (HR 0.67, p < 0.001) and patients who were not white had increased risk (HR 2.56, p = 0.01). In patients with staged repair >5 years old, more recent birth year may be associated with a higher risk of malocclusion (HR 1.06, p = 0.06) while syndrome may be associated with lower risk of malocclusion diagnosis (HR 0.46, p = 0.07). Conclusion Our data suggests that staged CP repair is not protective against developing Class III malocclusion.
