Background: To assess speech results following the treatment of mild to moderate velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) post cleft palate surgery with autologous fat grafting to the velopharynx.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 9 consecutive patients who underwent velopharyngeal fat grafting for the treatment of VPI at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's hospital from 2010 to 2014. All the patients previously had primary palatoplasty performed and subsequently developed VPI.
