    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Speech Pathology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Persistent hypernasality can significantly impact quality of life.
    • Previous pharyngeal flap surgery may not always resolve hypernasality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a secondary pharyngeal flap operation using the high-attached technique for persistent hypernasality.

    Main Methods:

    • Twelve patients with persistent hypernasal speech underwent a second pharyngeal flap operation.
    • The high-attached technique was employed for the secondary flap.

    Main Results:

    • Complete or near-complete correction of hypernasality was achieved in 6 out of 12 patients.
    • Four patients showed moderate speech improvement.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Two patients experienced no significant benefit from the secondary surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • The high-attached technique for secondary pharyngeal flap surgery offers a viable option for correcting persistent hypernasality.
    • Secondary pharyngeal flap surgery can be effective in improving speech outcomes for select patients.
