The dog had a history since birth of sneezing and oronasal reflux of food and liquid.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>CLINICAL FINDINGS<\/jats:bold>\n                    Oral examination under anesthesia revealed a short, incompletely formed soft palate with bilateral clefts. A pseudouvula was not a prominent feature of the condition in this dog.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>TREATMENT AND OUTCOME<\/jats:bold>\n                    The dog underwent 1-stage reconstruction of the soft palate by means of a split-thickness soft palate hinged flap and bilateral buccal mucosal rotation flaps. Long-term follow-up obtained 3 years after surgery revealed the dog to be in good general health, with resolution of oronasal reflux; however, occasional episodes of mild sneezing and nasal discharge persisted. Oral examination under sedation revealed attenuation of the bilateral clefts; however, a normal soft palate length was not achieved.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold>\n                    Compared with previously described techniques, this technique offered the possibility of 1-stage reconstruction of the soft palate in dogs, rather than having 2 staged procedures performed, and a robust tissue combination that was expected to be less prone to trauma. This technique may be particularly suitable for affected dogs where a pseudouvula is not a prominent feature and appears to be applicable to a variety of skull morphologies. Owners should be made aware that the absence of normal palatine muscle within the reconstructed palate may affect function, but even where normal function is not regained, a good quality of life with minimal clinical signs may be achieved.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.248.1.91","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,18]],"date-time":"2015-12-18T14:58:26Z","timestamp":1450450706000},"page":"91-95","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Use of a split-thickness soft palate hinged flap and bilateral buccal mucosal rotation flaps for one-stage repair of a bilateral hypoplastic soft palate in a dog"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"248","author":[{"given":"Ronan A.","family":"Mullins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shane R.","family":"Guerin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathryn M.","family":"Pratschke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"ref1","series-title":"Canine Pract","first-page":"10","article-title":"Development and validation of a body condition score system for dogs","volume":"22","author":"Laflamme","year":"1997"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.1972.tb06879.x","article-title":"Surgery of the canine pharynx and larynx","volume":"13","author":"Baker","year":"1972"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"1551","article-title":"Unsuccessful surgical repair of a short palate in a dog","volume":"193","author":"Bauer","year":"1988"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"875","article-title":"Management of a congenitally shortened soft palate in a dog","volume":"211","author":"Sylvestre","year":"1997"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Vet Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"358","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.1998.tb00140.x","article-title":"Use of buccal mucosal flaps for the correction of congenital soft palate defects in three dogs","volume":"27","author":"Sager","year":"1998"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"398","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2000.tb03231.x","article-title":"Middle ear disease associated with congenital palatine defects in seven dogs and one cat","volume":"41","author":"Gregory","year":"2000"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"364","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2009.00742.x","article-title":"Soft palate hypoplasia and concurrent middle ear pathology in six dogs","volume":"50","author":"White","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"86","DOI":"10.5326\/0400086","article-title":"Reconstruction of a bilateral hypoplastic soft palate in a cat","volume":"40","author":"Headrick","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"338","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2001.tb02469.x","article-title":"Congenital unilateral cleft of the soft palate in six dogs","volume":"42","author":"Warzee","year":"2001"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"Textbook of small animal surgery","first-page":"814","article-title":"Cleft palate","author":"Nelson","year":"2003"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"Textbook of small animal surgery","first-page":"733","article-title":"Upper respiratory system","author":"Nelson","year":"1993"},{"key":"ref12","series-title":"Veterinary small animal surgery","first-page":"1709","article-title":"Palate","author":"Reiter","year":"2013"},{"issue":"11 pt 3 suppl 105","key":"ref13","series-title":"Laryngoscope","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1097\/01.mlg.0000148223.45374.ec","article-title":"Studies in otitis media.
