Abstract:
A modification of the cranially-pedicled velopharyngoplasty is described. It consists of the preparation of two mucosal flaps on the dorsal side of the soft palate. They are pedicled on the velar rim and sutured to the free part of the pharyngeal flap between its origin and the recipient bed. Advantages of the method comprise reliable healing, the breadth of the flap and an improved velopharyngeal occlusion with results which favourably influence speech.
