Comparison of palatal lengthening and perioperative outcomes of Furlow’s Z-plasty versus von Langenbeck’s palatoplasty in children with complete, non-syndromic cleft palate: a randomized controlled trial in India
Von Langenbeck's repair with intravelar veloplasty is as effective as Furlow's palatoplasty in achieving palatal lengthening and provides the advantage of an anatomically sound repair with a reduced fistula rate.
