Buccinator Myomucosal Neurovascular Island Flap: Anatomical Cadaveric Study and Clinical Experience
This study suggests that the use of axial neurovascular pedicled propeller buccinator myomucosal flaps is a safe and reliable option in primary cleft palate reconstruction. Our anatomical dissections and clinical outcomes reveal the consistent and robust nature of the buccal neurovascular pedicle, and our modified surgical technique allows for preservation of the buccal nerve.
