Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
Conditions
Brief summary
Nasopharyngoscopic examination of the 20 patients with secondary VPI following 2 flap palatoplasty will be done for visualization of the velopharyngeal port, allowing assessment of the pattern and grade of velopharyngeal closure during speech and the presence or absence of a velopharyngeal gap and after VPI repair by Buccinator myomucosal flap with Furlow palatoplasty
Interventions
PROCEDUREBuccinator myomucosal flap with Furlow palatoplasty
Anatomical restoration concept using Buccinator myomucosal flap with Furlow palatoplasty is an effective technique for lengthening the palate and improving speech outcomes
