Minor modification of soft palate surgical technique resulted in a considerable increase of residual cleft dimensions for unilateral cleft lip and palate
The modified SPC technique resulted in larger residual clefts in comparison with the groups operated with the original SPC method. Timing differences between GBG3 and GBG2 are likely one explanation of cleft width variations anteriorly.
