The intrasulcular incision provides excellent transpalatine exposure of the nasopharynx with a viable palatal flap. There is less chance for naso-oral fistula formation since the resulting suture line is always over underlying bone. This safely allows extensive removal of the hard palate. Additionally, the continuous sling suture allows excellent flap reapproximation using the teeth as anchors for the replaced palatal flap. Patients tolerate oral feedings within 24 hours of their operations and require minimal postoperative analgesics. The extended intrasulcular incision offers many advantages over other methods for transpalatine exposures to the nasopharynx.
