Abstract
OBJECTIVE Compare the effectiveness of palatoplasty and pharyngoplasty procedures at resolving hypernasality in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q). DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Metropolitan children's hospital. PATIENTS Fourteen patients with 22q presenting for management of velopharyngeal insufficiency. INTERVENTIONS Palatoplasty or pharyngoplasty procedure. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Resolution of hypernasality 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS Both procedure groups had a mean preoperative velopharyngeal gap of 6.2 mm during phonation. No patient who underwent palatoplasty achieved resolution of hypernasality; 1/7 patients had worse hypernasality, 4/7 had no change, and 2/7 had improved hypernasality. In contrast, hypernasality was resolved in 6/7 patients in the pharyngoplasty group, which was significantly (P = .03) higher than the palatoplasty group. CONCLUSIONS In patients with 22q, palatoplasty procedures may be less effective than pharyngoplasty procedures at resolving hypernasality. This may be due to underlying anatomic or physiologic differences, such as increased pharyngeal depth and hypodynamic muscles.

Comparison of Speech Outcomes Between Speech Therapy Only and Double-Opposing Z-Plasty Combined With Speech Therapy in Patients With Submucous Cleft Palate. J Craniofac Surg 2024:00001665-990000000-01670. [PMID: 38830053 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000010385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare speech outcomes in patients with submucous cleft palate (SMCP) between speech therapy alone and double-opposing Z-plasty (DOZ) combined with speech therapy. The subjects were 67 patients with SMCP (overt type, 45 males, 22 females), who were divided into the observation group (n=18), the speech therapy group (n=24; duration, 17.8 mo), and the DOZ and speech therapy (DOZ-speech therapy) group (n=25; median age at DOZ, 5.3 years, duration, 18.6 mo). The median age at initial and final speech assessments were 3 and 5 years. After age, sex, syndromic status, duration of speech therapy, surgery timing, and speech outcomes were investigated, statistical analysis was performed. After tailored interventions, both isolated and non-isolated SMCP patients experienced significant improvements in speech outcomes, including nasal emission, hypernasality, compensatory articulation, and unintelligible speech. Since comparable improvements were observed, there were no significant differences in the final assessments regardless of initial speech issues between the speech therapy group and the DOZ-speech therapy group (all P>0.05). In the DOZ-speech therapy group, the rate of achieving "socially acceptable" speech was 92.3% in isolated cases and 90% in non-isolated cases. Multivariate analysis revealed that DOZ showed a tendency to reduce hypernasality, compensatory articulation, and "unintelligible" speech; syndromic or developmental conditions influenced outcomes in nasal emission and hypernasality; and initial hypernasality and compensatory articulation were correlated with outcomes. Therefore, DOZ surgery could be recommended to resolve hypernasality and compensatory articulation in SMCP patients before speech issues worsen.

Abstract
Velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) is caused by inadequate closure of the velopharyngeal port. VPD can hinder a child's ability to communicate and can impact his/her quality of life. Evaluation of children with VPD is often completed in a multidisciplinary setting and often involves studies that allow for the visualization of the velopharyngeal closure during voluntary speech (ie, nasopharyngoscopy). Multiple surgical options exist for the treatment of VPD including pharyngeal flap, sphincter pharyngoplasty, buccal myomucosal flaps, Furlow palatoplasty, palate re-repair, intravelar veloplasty, and injection pharyngoplasty. Each speech surgery has its unique benefits and drawbacks and the decision on which surgery to recommend should be tailored to each patient's specific needs and weighing the risk/benefit profile for their specific surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study characterizes the potential loss of velar length in patients with a wide cleft and rescue of this loss of domain by local flap reconstruction, providing anatomic evidence in support of primary lengthening of the soft palate during palatoplasty. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of all patients with a cleft palate at least 10mm in width, who underwent primary palatoplasty with a buccal flap prior to 18 months of age over a 2-year period. All patients underwent primary palatoplasty with horizontal transection of the nasal mucosa, which was performed after nasal mucosa repair, but prior to muscular reconstruction. The resulting palatal lengthening was measured and the mucosal defect was reconstructed with a buccal flap. RESULTS Of the 22 patients included, 3 (13.6%) had a history of Pierre Robin sequence, and 5 (22.7%) had an associated syndrome. No patients had a Veau I cleft, 7 (31.8%) had a Veau II, 12 (54.5%) had a Veau III, and 3 had (13.6%) a Veau IV cleft. All patients had a right buccal flap during primary palatoplasty. The mean cleft width at the posterior nasal spine was 10.6 ± 2.82mm, and mean lengthening of the velum after horizontal transection of the nasal mucosa closure was 10.5 ± 2.23mm. There were 2 (9.1%) fistulas, 1 (4.5%) wound dehiscence, 1 (4.5%) 30-day readmission, and no bleeding complications. CONCLUSIONS Patients with a wide cleft palate have a potential loss of 1cm velar length. The buccal flap can rescue the loss of domain in palatal length, and potentially improve palatal excursion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is a particular subtype of cleft deformity for which the optimal surgical timing and technique are still under debate. This study aimed to identify potential prognostic factors for the speech outcome of patients with SMCP and provide evidence for further management strategy optimization. METHODS The authors reviewed patients with nonsyndromic SMCP who received either Furlow palatoplasty (FP) or posterior pharyngeal flap (PPF) between 2008 and 2021 in a tertiary hospital-based cleft center. Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to screen preoperative variables, including cleft type (overt or occult), age at surgery, mobility of velum and pharyngeal wall, velopharyngeal closure ratio, and pattern. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the cutoff value of the significant predictors for subgroup comparison. RESULTS A total of 131 patients were enrolled, with 92 receiving FP and 39 receiving PPF. Age at operation and cleft type were identified as having significant effects on FP outcome. Patients operated on before 9.5 years of age had a significantly higher velopharyngeal competence (VPC) rate than those operated on after that age. The speech outcome among patients with occult SMCP was significantly worse than that of patients with overt SMCP after FP treatment. No preoperative variable was found to be correlated with PPF outcome. PPF yielded a higher VPC rate than did FP among patients operated on after 9.5 years of age. CONCLUSIONS The prognosis of patients with SMCP treated with FP is sensitive to age at surgery and cleft type. PPF may be considered for older patients in settings with limited access to multiple surgical procedures, especially when occult SMCP is diagnosed. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) requires surgical repair if symptomatic. The Furlow double-opposing Z-plasty is the preferred method in Helsinki cleft center. AIMS To assess the efficacy and complications of Furlow Z-plasty in the treatment of symptomatic SMCP. METHODS This retrospective study reviewed documentation of 40 consecutive patients with symptomatic SMCP who underwent primary Furlow Z-plasty by 2 high-volume cleft surgeons at a single center between 2008 and 2017. Patients underwent perceptual and instrumental evaluation of velopharyngeal function (VPF) by speech pathologists preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS The median age at Furlow Z-plasty was 4.8 years (SD 2.6, range 3.1-13.6). The overall success rate, including postoperative competent or borderline competent VPF, was 83%, and 10% required secondary surgery for residual velopharyngeal insufficiency. The success rate was 85% in nonsyndromic, and 67% in syndromic patients with no significant difference ( P =0.279). Complications arose in only 2 (5%) patients. No children were found to have obstructive sleep apnea postoperatively. CONCLUSION Furlow primary Z-plasty is a safe and effective operation for symptomatic SMCP with a success rate of 83% with only 5% rate of complications.

Abstract
Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is an uncommon subtype of cleft palate that is associated with symptoms of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), the most common being hypernasal speech. A high proportion of patients also suffer from conductive hearing loss, which is thought to be due to eustachian tube dysfunction. A number of surgical techniques have been proposed to correct the anatomical defect that is responsible for VPI. This exploratory study aims to describe surgical techniques and clinical outcomes in a series of patients who underwent surgical repair of SMCP at a single regional specialist cleft centre between 1999 and 2018. Through a retrospective case note review, records of 57 patients who underwent SMCP repair between the ages of 6 months and 16 years were examined. Patients underwent one of the three surgical techniques: Intravelar Veloplasty, Furlow or a novel technique we have termed as "Hemi-Furlow". Hypernasality, measured on the Great Ormond Street Speech Assessment, showed evidence of improvement post-operatively in all three surgical groups (P<0.005), with no evidence to favour any specific approach. Post-operative complications, including wound dehiscence and fistulae, occurred in nine patients (15.8%). Nine patients (15.8%) required revisional surgery, either due to post-operative complications or persistent speech problems. Otological disease was present in 54.4% of patients, comprising conductive hearing loss due to otitis media with effusion (52.6%) and sensorineural hearing loss (1.8%). There is now a need for large, multi-centre studies with robust outcomes measures to further examine relationships between surgical techniques and clinical outcomes in people born with SMCP.

Abstract
To delineate the indications, referral sources and outcomes of radical muscle dissection palate repair in the first 4 years of life for patients with submucous cleft palate (SMCP). This study presents a retrospective analysis of a single surgeon's management. All children were treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital, United Kingdom. Twenty-three children with nonsyndromic SMCP were included in this study. All participants underwent radical muscle dissection repair before their fourth birthday. Parameters analyzed included: referral sources, indications for referral, extent of anatomical abnormality, and postoperative outcomes. Paediatricians provided the largest proportion of referrals to the cleft lip and palate clinic (39%) due to the presence of cleft lip/palate on prenatal scans or during neonatal examination. Over half (n = 12, 52%) of patients had severe anatomical anomalies being in grade IV (score 8-9), with the classical triad present to some extent in all but 2 of the patients. The main indication for surgery was nasal regurgitation of food and liquid (n = 9, 35%) followed by hypernasality (n = 6, 21%), difficulty feeding (n = 3, 8%), and severe anatomical defect (n = 2; 4%). Postoperatively, the presenting complaint improved in the majority of cases. Nonsyndromic SMCP is often missed, though may present with nasal regurgitation, feeding problems, and/or hypernasality, though may be missed in nonsyndromic children. Early radical muscle dissection repair in the first 4 years of life is safe and effective, facilitating normal speech development.

Abstract
PURPOSE Persistent velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) following primary palatoplasty remains a difficult problem to treat. This study evaluates speech outcomes following revision palatoplasty with tissue augmentation using buccal myomucosal flaps (BMF) as an alternative to pharyngoplasty for patients with VPI. METHODS A retrospective single-center review of revision palatoplasty with tissue augmentation at a tertiary pediatric hospital Cleft-Craniofacial Center between January 2017 and March 2021 was conducted. Patients with a history of previous palatoplasty, a diagnosis of persistent or recurrent VPI, and comprehensive pre- and postoperative speech evaluations who underwent revision palatoplasty with BMF were included. RESULTS Twenty patients met inclusion criteria (35% female, 20% syndromic). Mean age at the time of revision palatoplasty with BMF was 9.7 years. Preoperatively, all patients had stigmatizing speech and received the recommendation for speech surgery; the mean Pittsburgh Weighted Speech Score (PWSS) was 14.3 ± 4.9. The mean postoperative PWSS at the most recent assessment was 4.2 ± 2.3, representing a statistically significant improvement from preoperative scores (P < .001). Mean follow-up time was 8.9 months. Following revision palatoplasty with BMF, only one patient has received the recommendation for further speech surgery. No complications were noted. CONCLUSION In patients with VPI following primary palatoplasty, revision palatoplasty with tissue augmentation offers an alternative to pharyngoplasty. This approach preserves dynamic velopharyngeal function, improves speech outcomes, and should be considered an option when treating patients with post-primary palatoplasty VPI.
