The incidence of clinically significant fistulas that required surgical repair was 17 of 857 (2.0%). In children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP), or isolated cleft palate (CP), the incidence of palatal fistulas was 23 of 644 (3.6%). Of these palatal fistulas, 12 (1.9%) were clinically significant. Oronasal fistulas were most frequently found in children with BCLP (9 of 88, 10.2%), followed by UCLP (12 of 215, 5.6%) and CP (12 of 341, 3.5%). No fistulas were found in children with unilateral cleft lip and alveolar ridge. In 10 cases (30.3%), the oronasal fistula remained in the alveolar ridge, in 11 cases (33.3%) in the anterior part of the hard palate, and in 11 cases (33.3%) at the junction of the hard and soft palates. In one case (3%), the records were lost.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The low incidence of oronasal fistulas is the result of a surgical technique and tensionless suturing, followed by a two-layer closure, two-stage palate repair in BCLP and UCLP patients, and preoperative orthopedics in UCLP cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1597\/10-146","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,8]],"date-time":"2011-07-08T17:14:42Z","timestamp":1310145282000},"page":"643-648","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Incidence of Residual Oronasal Fistulas: A 20-Year Experience"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Andreja","family":"Eberlinc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, University Hospital Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vesna","family":"Ko\u017eelj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, University of Ljubljana, and Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02844310510006529"},{"key":"bibr2-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-5182(05)80378-6"},{"key":"bibr3-10-146","first-page":"386","volume":"63","author":"\u010dele\u0161nik F.","year":"1962","journal-title":"Rev Stomatol."},{"key":"bibr4-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199106000-00005"},{"key":"bibr5-10-146","first-page":"206","volume":"27","author":"Cuesta Gil M.","year":"2005","journal-title":"Rev Esp Cir Oral Maxillofac."},{"key":"bibr6-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PRS.0000148650.32055.01"},{"key":"bibr7-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199705010-00010"},{"key":"bibr8-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02844310310004424"},{"key":"bibr9-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2005.05.019"},{"key":"bibr10-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1597\/02-124"},{"key":"bibr11-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1597\/07-063.1"},{"key":"bibr12-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-5182(96)80040-0"},{"key":"bibr13-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e31817d6223"},{"key":"bibr14-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-200111000-00011"},{"key":"bibr15-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1597\/06-205.1"},{"key":"bibr16-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199608000-00005"},{"key":"bibr17-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PRS.0000097286.00667.4F"},{"key":"bibr18-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-0358.57203"},{"key":"bibr19-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1597\/06-204.1"},{"key":"bibr20-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PRS.0000085599.84458.D2"},{"key":"bibr21-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1597\/07-185.1"},{"key":"bibr22-10-146","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-200209010-00055"},{"key":"bibr23-10-146","unstructured":"\u017eajdelaZ.
