    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A modified Hynes pharyngoplasty effectively treated velopharyngeal incompetence in 40 patients. The procedure improved speech outcomes, with most patients experiencing reduced nasal escape and improved resonance.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Speech-Language Pathology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI) treatment is challenging due to diverse causes and defects.
    • Comprehensive assessment is crucial for tailoring surgical interventions to individual VPI cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a modified Hynes pharyngoplasty for treating velopharyngeal incompetence.
    • To assess speech outcomes and complications in patients undergoing this pharyngoplasty technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified Hynes pharyngoplasty was performed on 40 patients (age 4-52) with VPI.
    • Speech, radiologic, and nasendoscopic assessments were conducted pre- and post-surgery (≥6 months).

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • 38 patients showed no or variable nasal escape post-surgery.
    • 33 patients achieved normal or slight hyponasal resonance.
    • One asymptomatic flap dehiscence and 13 minor side effects occurred, none requiring surgical intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified Hynes pharyngoplasty is a viable surgical option for VPI.
    • Ideal candidates have slight to moderate nasal escape with a mobile palate and an anteroposterior gap ≤5 mm.
