Unlabelled: This study was designed to compare intravelar veloplasty with and without V-Y pushback palatoplasty regarding postoperative functional and speech outcomes.
The Aim: is to find out the importance and influence of palatal lengthening on the functional and speech outcomes after SMCP repair.
Study Design: This is a prospective randomized comparative study of 20 patients divided into 2 equal groups. The study was conducted between February 2008 and January 2015.
Methods: Radical Intravelar Veloplasty (RIVVP group): included 10 patients with a mean age of 5.539±1.335 years and V-Y Pushback Pharyngoplasty and Radical Intravelar Veloplasty (VYP+RIVVP group): included 10 patients with a mean age of 5.688±1.341 years for non-syndromic SMCP.
Setting: Academic tertiary care medical centres.
Results: In both groups there was a significant change in Eustachian tube function, nasal emission and nasal tone of voice postoperatively than preoperatively, while there was no significant difference between both groups in the postoperative outcomes as regards the same parameters (ET function, nasal emission and resonance) (p=0.558, 0.563 and 0.164 respectively). However, there was a significant difference between both groups as regards palatal lengthening, no statistically significant difference was present between both groups as regards the postoperative mean pharyngeal gap, using videoendoscopic analysis. In conclusion, RIVVP and VYP+RIVVP are both effective methods to repair non-syndromic SMCP. Moreover, the lengthening of the palate in non-syndromic SMCP is an unnecessary process.

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the changes in the anatomic structures of individuals with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) classified according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).
Materials And Methods: Individuals were divided into groups as group 1 (AHI=0, n=20), group 2 (AHI ˂5, n=20), group 3 (AHI=5-15, n=20), group 4 (AHI=16-30, n=20), group 5 (AHI ˃30, n=20). The individuals left lateral cervical vertebra radiographs were taken.

Objective: Describe surgical decision making and outcomes in a series of patients with persistent VPI after pharyngeal flap placement that were all treated with revision palatoplasty.

Long-term Outcomes of a Modified Straight-line Palate Repair Technique: Low Speech Correcting Surgery and Fistula Rates.

Division of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA.
Background: The goal of cleft palate (CP) repair is to restore normal speech, however, rates of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) after palatoplasty remain high. We present a modified straight-line palate repair (SLR) technique that facilitates velum length to alleviate VPI. The technique releases nasal mucosa with the levator muscle off the hard palate.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the types of surgical specialties involved in secondary correction of velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI) from 2004 to 2021 using data from 45 hospitals.
- A total of 7,090 VPI procedures were examined, with plastic surgeons performing the majority (67%), followed by otolaryngologists (31%) and oral and maxillofacial surgeons (12%).
- It was found that the choice of procedure varied by specialty, with otolaryngologists favoring sphincter pharyngoplasty, which saw a decline in performance by plastic surgeons from 2017 to 2021.
Presurgical Nasoalveolar Molding and Columella Lengthening for Early Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Rehabilitation: A Comprehensive Clinical Case Report.
Int J Clin Pediatr Dent

Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Sharad Pawar Dental College and Hospital, Wardha, Maharashtra, India.
Aim And Background: In presurgical infant orthopedics, nasoalveolar molding (NAM) therapy has gained more popularity worldwide in treating patients with cleft lip and palate because of its soft tissue nasal corrections in addition to the alignment and close approximation of the cleft alveolar segments, which gives better postsurgical stability and esthetics with minimal tissue tension and scar formation to the patients.The clinical case report aims to show the better post-NAM results, which had helped to gain better postsurgical results in terms of stability and aesthetics in hard and soft tissues.
Case Description: This clinical report presents the case of a 9-day-old female patient reported in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at Sharad Pawar Dental College and Hospital with nonsyndromic complete left-sided unilateral cleft lip and palate with a defect size of 13 mm, which was treated with a presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) appliance.
