Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1985
Patients with velopharyngeal inadequacy require structural modification of the velopharyngeal area by a prosthesis or by surgery in order to provide a mechanism for intelligible speech. The superiorly based, high-attached, lined pharyngeal flap was chosen for the treatment of velopharyngeal incompetency and the operative technique was described ...

Compound Pharyngeal Myocutaneous Flap
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1989To the Editor .—We would like to congratulate Drs Goldsmith and Price for a superb article. 1 We have also used compound pharyngeal myocutaneous flaps for reconstruction after oral pharyngeal (base-of-tongue, tonsil, and soft palate) composite resections. Our results have been excellent and were reported elsewhere.

An Electromyographic Study of Pharyngeal Flap Operation
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1969GOOD speech depends upon intact velopharyngeal closure. The muscles of the soft palate and pharynx, and especially the levator palati, palatopharyngeus and superior constrictor, act as a sphincter which has the ability to separate the oropharynx from the nasopharynx.

Closure of the velopharyngeal sphincter is necessary for the correct phonation of vowels and most consonants. Dysfunction of the velopharyngeal sphincter allows excess air passage into the nasal cavity, resulting in altered speech. Surgeons rely on a handful of diagnostic modalities as well as perceptual speech analysis by cleft-trained speech-language

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1994
Twenty-one consecutive patients who had earlier superiorly based pharyngeal flap surgery and persistent velopharyngeal insufficiency were seen between 1976 and 1991. Patients were divided into two treatment groups, depending on the results of videofluoroscopic and nasopharyngoscopic assessment. The first group consisted of 18 patients who had bilateral

Superiorly Based Pharyngeal Flap
2015First described in 1875 by Schoenborn as an inferiorly based flap, the pharyngeal flap is the most common surgical procedure performed for velopharyngeal insufficiency. Having undergone numerous modifications since its conception, the pharyngeal flap is now primarily designed as a superiorly based flap and is most effective for patients with good ...

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1975
In an attempt to minimize postoperative scar contracture and shrinkage after a pharyngeal flap operation, a folded flap operation was devised. This operation was performed on 14 patients with velopharyngeal inadequacy. A superiorly-based flap was elevated from the posterior pharyngeal wall and was folded with the mucosa outside.

Indication and the results of pharyngeal flap operation
Archiv f�r Klinische und Experimentelle Ohren- Nasen- und Kehlkopfheilkunde, 1971Indication for pharyngeal flap operation was discussed particularly from the following 3 viewpoints; diseases and factors responsible for velopharyngeal incompetence, and the extent. Aerodynamic (pressure-flow) techniques now in use at our clinic were described, which permit objective evaluation of the degree of velopharyngeal incompetence.

Adaptation of Pharyngeal Wall Adduction after Pharyngeal Flap Surgery
The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 1999Objective The purpose of this investigation was to study lateral pharyngeal wall adduction relative to pharyngeal flaps of different widths. The hypothesis to be tested was that pharyngeal wall adduction does not increase postoperatively but may decrease due to the mechanical hindrance of a wide flap.

Lining the Superiorly Based Pharyngeal Flap
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1983Developing a mucosal flap to line the nasal surface of a superiorly based pharyngeal flap can present technical difficulties, particularly in the scarred and immobile soft palate. Employing the technique described, the forward attachment of the pharyngeal flap to the nasal surface is made through a long, horizontal incision high in the soft palate. The
