Anteriorly based tongue flaps were used to close 15 palatal fistulae, a majority of which had followed earlier surgery for cleft palate closure. In 12 cases, nasal lining could be reconstituted using local mucoperiosteal tissue, while in 2 cases, adjacent buccal mucosa had to be used. In 1 case, a single layer closure with a tongue flap was successful. One case is described in detail with illustrations. A table is included with details of the other cases. A short note is added to stress that there is no morbidity in the tongue following the use of tongue flaps.
