Palatal Motion After Primary and Secondary Furlow Palatoplasty

Abstract: When examined in isolation, postoperative motion of the soft palate appears similar following both primary and secondary Furlow palatoplasty procedures, suggesting that there are no major deleterious effects on palatal motion following secondary Furlow palatoplasty.

“…Videoendoscopy and videofluorography of deglutition have been used as methods for evaluating soft palate movements. 5,6 However, both methods have limitations because they are highly invasive and involve the insertion of an endoscope and exposure to radiation. Ultrasonography (USG) is a noninvasive investigative technique that has been described as a helpful tool for visualizing soft tissue movements in the oral cavity in a number of reports that have focused on the observation of movements that begin in the pharynx and continue to the esophagus during suckling.…”

“…However, to our knowledge, palatal motion has not been specifically noted or described. In this issue of JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Rudnicki et al, 4 in reviewing 20 recordings of nasopharyngoscopy videos from both primary and secondary surgeries in patients aged 12 months to 22 years, sought to determine this particular feature. They used randomized and deidentified data and used 2 independent observations of motion of each hemipalate.…”
