Incidence of Oronasal Fistulae and Velopharyngeal Insufficiency after Cleft Palate Repair: An Audit of 211 Children Born between 1990 and 2004

Abstract: Our results are comparable to other recent studies. We believe that highly coordinated cleft care helps ensure such outcomes. These data provide a benchmark against which we can measure future performance in our attempts to improve outcomes of cleft repair.

The abnormally inserted muscles of the soft palate can be surgically corrected [5][6][7] , however, velopharyngeal dysfunction persists in 7% to 30% of the patients 2,3,[8][9][10] .…”

“…Entretanto, apesar das tentativas de normalização da orientação muscular na correção primária do palato, uma parcela considerável de pacientes submetidos à palatoplastia primária permanece com a inserção muscular anteriorizada na borda posterior das lâminas palatinas, o que leva ao insucesso da palatoplastia primária persistindo a insuficiência velofaríngea (IVF) 13 . A proporção de IVF residual relatada na literatura varia entre os estudos [14][15][16] , sendo, então, necessário procedimento cirúrgico secundário.…”
