Cleft palate is one of the most common anomalies of the face which affects feeding and speech functions, facial growth and further psycho-socio problems. Palatoplasty plays a vital role in recovering both anatomic and functional aspects of the patients. Our research was conducted on 30 complete unilateral cleft palate (CUCP) who underwent small double-opposing Z-plasty in National Children’s Hospital from June 2021 to August 2022. The average age of the patients was 15.5 (months), average width between two posterior nasal spine was 11.28 ± 1.75 (mm) and average length of the palatal was 37.77 ± 3.76 (mm). Post-operation, the palatal elongated of average 3.40 ± 1.43 (mm). Immediate complication rates were 6.7% with 2 patients who had mild swollen and infection at surgical site. At least 2 months after the surgeries, all patients were reevaluated. Good healing was achieved in 90.0% without any complication. 6.7% had atypical uvula shape. 3.3% (1 out of 30) were rated as Failed due to separation of the uvula.
