Indications for Large Anterior Palatal Fistula Closure

Patients with large anterior palatal fistulae may experience:

  • Speech Difficulties: The presence of a large fistula can affect speech clarity, leading to nasal speech or difficulty articulating certain sounds.
  • Feeding Challenges: Fistulae in the palate can interfere with eating and drinking, causing food or liquids to pass through the nose instead of the mouth.
  • Oral Hygiene Issues: An open fistula can complicate oral hygiene practices, increasing the risk of infection or dental problems.
  • Dr. Ghulam Qadir Fayyaz conducts thorough evaluations to assess the extent of the large anterior palatal fistula and to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for closure. This evaluation includes a comprehensive review of the patient's medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging to plan the surgical procedure effectively.
