Abstract

A patient with a previous surgical history of a cleft lip and palate repair and a pharyngeal flap pharyngoplasty was admitted for repair of mandibular prognathism. Following induction of anaesthesia, it was impossible to advance the nasotracheal tube into the oropharynx. Using a dental mirror and retrograde tracheal intubation equipment, under direct vision, the nasotracheal tube was finally advanced into the oropharynx.
