The versatile palatal island flap: its use in soft palate reconstruction and nasopharyngeal and choanal atresia.

The mucoperiosteal island flap, first designed to provide nasal lining during pushback lengthening of a short cleft palate, has been used to assist in reconstruction of large soft palate defects following resection for cancer, to create and maintain patency of the velopharyngeal aperture after stenosis and to maintain patency of the nasal airway after resection of bony choanal atresia.
