Tissue Augmenting Palatoplasty for the Treatment of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 2021Purpose Persistent velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) following primary palatoplasty remains a difficult problem to treat. This study evaluates speech outcomes following revision palatoplasty with tissue augmentation using buccal myomucosal flaps (BMF ...

Surgery for Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
2012Velopharyngeal inadequacy may be learned, neurologic, or anatomic in origin. Velopharyngeal insufficiency specifically refers to an anatomic deficiency, which subsequently impairs resonant control of speech and intraoral pressure for orally directed speech sounds.

Surgical Management of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2014The primary goal of cleft palate repair is to create an anatomically and functionally intact palate while minimally affecting maxillary growth and development. In order to produce normal speech, a child must have velopharyngeal competence, defined as the ability to completely close the velopharyngeal sphincter that separates the oropharynx and ...

Correction of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1970ESTABLISHMENT of normal speech in velopharyngeal insufficiency is the goal of various procedures proposed by many authors. Velopharyngeal insufficiency is not uncommon and is very disagreeable for the patient as well as for the surgeon who is confronted with the responsibility for the attainment of normal speech in the patient.

VELOPHARYNGEAL INSUFFICIENCY IN HEMIFACIAL MICROSOMIA
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1977One-third of a group of 18 patients with hemifacial microsomia demonstrated velopharyngeal insufficiency of a significant degree. The ones with velopharyngeal insufficiency tended to have more severe soft tissue and skeletal deformities of the maxillary-malar complex, associated with a total unilateral palatal paralysis. Cinefluoroscopy was not helpful
