👉 Cricotracheotomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove or reduce cleft palate, which is an abnormal opening between the roof of the mouth and the soft palate. It typically involves making a small incision in the roof of the mouth and then using tools such as scissors or dental instruments to cut through the tissue that forms the cleft palate. The purpose of cricotracheotomy is to allow for proper speech, chewing, and breathing after the procedure.
