Abstract
A female child with unilateral midpalatal cleft was successfully treated by Wardill V-Y pushback palatal flap and superiorly based pharyngeal flap simultaneously. The advantages of this method are to prepare the favorable background of postoperative speech correction and additional nasal lining. We can try this simultaneous operation in delayed cleft palate repair.
