[The surgery of nasopharyngeal stenosis (author's transl)]

The reconstructive surgery of the cicatricial velopharyngeal stenosis and atresia may often be difficult and it is sometimes impossible to cut viable flaps from the mucosa of the velum and/or pharynx or to bring free grafts to be taken. For permanent success of the surgery the covering of the lateral pharyngeal wall is essential. Our experiences on 5 operated cases are described as well as a personal surgical technique with flaps from the nasal mucosa.
