Restoration of the roof of the palate

What is the roof of the throat surgery?
Cleft palate surgery is a medical procedure performed to close the incision at the top of the throat.

Some babies are born with a birth defect, which is a cleft or split in the roof of the throat that makes the oral cavity open to the nose.

This happens if the tissues don’t fuse together while the baby is growing in the womb.

Sometimes the incision is limited to the soft area in the roof of the throat and may extend to the hard area near the gum and in other cases it reaches the lip.

A cleft lip is known as a cleft lip, and a child can have it without a cleft palate.

A cleft palate exposes a child to problems with speech, hearing, eating and breathing.

A child needs several cosmetic procedures throughout his life and into adulthood.

The surgery aims to:

Close the opening between the nose and mouth.
Helps improve the child’s speech.
Prevent food and liquids from entering the nose.
Make the child normal in appearance.
Roof of the throat surgery is sometimes performed for adults to treat angina, a problem that can occur with age.

The doctor removes part of the soft roof of the throat and removes all or part of the uvula (Uvula Removal Surgery) to treat snoring and sleep apnea problems.
