The effect of functional endoscopic sinus surgery on nasal resonance [PDF]
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2022 Background and objective Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) increases the nasal volume, and thereby it can alter the nasal resonance. The objectives were to measure the percentage of nasal resonance following FESS and compare it with healthy ...

Treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency in a patient with a submucous cleft palate using a speech aid: the more treatment options, the better the treatment results [PDF]
Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2019 Background The submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is a type of cleft palate that may result in velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). Palate muscles completely separate oral and nasal cavities by closing off the velopharynx during functional processes such as ...
