Abstract

The treatment of upper airway obstruction in newborns with Robin sequence (RS) is challenging. We report our experience implementing the minimally invasive Tübingen palatal plate in a pediatric tertiary care center, detailing a step-by-step protocol and clinical outcomes from our first patient series. Despite a learning curve and need for multidisciplinary coordination, the palatal plate can be safely and effectively integrated outside its center of origin.
