“…18 This method was then successfully applied for the correction of VPI following primary cleft palate repair. 8 The procedure was favorably considered for mild or marginal VPI because of its lower complication rate and ideal treatment outcome. 11 Compared with the pharyngeal flap, the DOZ establishes a more physiological upper airway, velar lengthening, and levator muscle reconstruction.…”

“…20 On the other hand, palatal lengthening procedures, including the Furlow Z-plasty 23 and the radical intravelar veloplasty of Sommerlad et al, 21 use the soft palate and its muscles to improve palatal length. The ultimate goal of VPI surgery is to achieve closure of the velopharyngeal port during speech, without obstructing the airway.…”

“…11 In 1994, Chen et al first investigated the use of the Furlow palatoplasty in secondary palatoplasty scientifically and found that it had a positive effect on velopharyngeal function, particularly in patients with a velopharyngeal gap of less than 5 mm. 23 22 By comparing pre-and postoperative measurements taken from cephalometric X-rays, D'Antonio et al showed that the Furlow double-opposing Z-plasty is capable of increasing the length of the soft palate. 24 In the present study, the double-opposing Z-plasty technique for secondary repair of the soft palate was modified.…”

“…Neben den geschilderten positiven funktionellen Ergebnissen der FurlowPlastik sind nochmals die seltene Notwendigkeit von Pharyngoplastiken [13,16], die äußerst geringe Wahrscheinlichkeit des Auftretens von Restlöchern (Fisteln) und die Möglichkeit, die Operation auch als sekundäre Korrekturmaßnah-me [2,11] einsetzen zu können, positiv zu erwähnen. Dem gegenüber stehen als Nachteile die schwierigere Operationsund Nahttechnik mit geringfügig verlängerter OP-Zeit und gelegentlich hö-herem Blutverlust [20] und, allerdings eher als Vorteil zu werten, die Notwendigkeit, bei breiten Primärspalten (>1 cm) evtl.…”

“…Inzwischen wird die Methode allgemein positiv beurteilt und als echte Alternative zu herkömmlichen Verfahren der Palatoplastik angesehen [8]. Sie ermöglicht insbesondere die Korrektur velopharyngealer Insuffizienz [2,11,15], indem sie ausgezeichnete Sprachergebnisse gewährleistet [8,13,16]. Die Operation ist sogar ausreichend "robust", um als Korrektur("Rettungs"-)operation in Fällen des Verlusts eines velopharyngealen Lappens zu dienen [5].…”
