Dear Dr Salvatore Noto,

 

Thanks to Dr A. G. Barminus, from Nigeria , for bringing out (LML Feb. 12^th, 2009) an interesting topic on “Perforation of the Palate”.  In this regard I would like to share our experience we had encountered sent as an attachment – pdf format presented in brief with photographs.

 

These complications do occur though not very common.  We did try all possibilities for reconstructive surgery but in vain due to various reasons, and meanwhile it was an emergency we had to handle with all possible means.  I hope that the information given will be useful and we also look forward for suggestions regarding reconstructive surgery.

 

With best wishes and kindest regards

Thanking you

Sincerely

 

Dr N. Manimozhi
