    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Speech and Hearing Science

    Background:

    • Nasal escape, a common complication after palatal surgery, affects speech intelligibility and quality of life.
    • Dynamic sphincter pharyngoplasty techniques aim to improve velopharyngeal function by creating a dynamic sphincter.
    • The Orticochea dynamic sphincter pharyngoplasty is a specific surgical approach to address velopharyngeal insufficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the Orticochea dynamic sphincter pharyngoplasty technique.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of the Orticochea dynamic sphincter pharyngoplasty in improving nasal escape.
    • To compare the results with existing literature on pharyngoplasty outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 53 patients who underwent Orticochea dynamic sphincter pharyngoplasty over eight years.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Assessment of nasal escape improvement through clinical evaluation and potentially objective measures.
  • Comparison of outcomes with published data from other pharyngoplasty series.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvement in nasal escape was observed in 47 out of 53 patients (88.7%).
    • Complete resolution of nasal escape was achieved in 20 patients (37.7%).
    • The results align with and support the claims made by the original proponent of the technique.

    Conclusions:

    • The Orticochea dynamic sphincter pharyngoplasty is an effective surgical option for reducing or eliminating nasal escape.
    • This technique demonstrates considerable advantages compared to other pharyngoplasty procedures.
    • Further research may explore long-term outcomes and patient-reported benefits.
