Overview
The aim of our study
is to highlight the positive effect of early conclusion of the cleft palate (the period of 6-8 months after birth, within one year). The reduction of middle ear disease and proper functioning of the Eustachian tube by properly timed correction of the palate is emphesized by otorhinolaryngology. The main point is not only the timing of the operation but also the choice of appropriate surgical technique.
The malfunction of Eustachian tube and the formation of secretory and chronic otitis due to adhesion-retraction process after cholesteatoma occur due to the cleft palate. It was examined 60 patients (age 6-8) in 2008-2009. The audiometric examination was necessary. Therefore the ability for co-operation was the critical condition for the patient selection.
Key words:
cleft lip, cleft palate, OMS-secretorica, secretory otitis media, chronic otitis.
