    Summary

    Surgical repair of cleft palate using the von Langenbeck technique with intravelar veloplasty is recommended for children around 1 year of age. This one-stage procedure aims to achieve velopharyngeal competency in most patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Craniofacial Surgery
    • Pediatric Plastic Surgery
    • Speech and Language Pathology

    Background:

    • Clefts of the secondary palate, with or without cleft lip, involve palate defects and abnormal levator veli palatini muscle insertion.
    • These anomalies can impact speech and swallowing functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the von Langenbeck palatoplasty technique with intravelar veloplasty for cleft palate repair.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique in achieving velopharyngeal competency.

    Main Methods:

    • One-stage surgical repair using the von Langenbeck palatoplasty technique.
    • Inclusion of intravelar veloplasty to address levator veli palatini muscle abnormalities.
    • Timing of surgery recommended shortly before or after 1 year of age.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique aims to restore normal palate anatomy and function.
    • Expected outcome is velopharyngeal competency in 80% to 90% of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The von Langenbeck palatoplasty with intravelar veloplasty is a recommended surgical approach for cleft palate repair.
    • This technique offers a high success rate for achieving velopharyngeal competency in pediatric patients.
