Among them by the German surgeon Passavant (1813 - 1893), who advocated either the elongation of the soft palate by suturing the palatopharyngeus muscle along the midline, beyond the uvula, or the outlining of a velopharyngeal flap, the so - called velopharyn …

Anatomy and physiology of the velopharyngeal mechanism.
Perry JL. Perry JL. Semin Speech Lang. 2011 May;32(2):83-92. doi: 10.1055/s-0031-1277712. Epub 2011 Sep 26. Semin Speech Lang. 2011. PMID: 21948636 Review.
Understanding the normal anatomy and physiology of the velopharyngeal mechanism is the first step in providing appropriate diagnosis and treatment for children born with cleft lip and palate. The velopharyngeal mechanism consists of a muscular valve that extends from the p …

Anatomy and physiology related to cleft palate: current research and clinical implications.
Maue-Dickson W, Dickson DR. Maue-Dickson W, et al. Plast Reconstr Surg. 1980 Jan;65(1):83-90. doi: 10.1097/00006534-198001000-00019. Plast Reconstr Surg. 1980. PMID: 6985734 Review.
The most important areas for future research related to the anatomy and physiology of cleft palate are thus: (1) the role of the tensor tympani muscle in auditory tube clearance; (2) the specific etiology of auditory tube dysfunction associated with cleft palate …

Role of the vestibular system in regulating respiratory muscle activity during movement.
Yates BJ, Billig I, Cotter LA, Mori RL, Card JP. Yates BJ, et al. Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol. 2002 Jan-Feb;29(1-2):112-7. doi: 10.1046/j.1440-1681.2002.03612.x. Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol. 2002. PMID: 11906468 Review.
Changes in posture can affect the resting length of the diaphragm, which is corrected through increases in both diaphragm and abdominal muscle activity. Furthermore, postural alterations can diminish airway patency, which must be compensated for through increases in firing …

Structural effectiveness of pharyngeal sleep apnea surgery.
Tucker Woodson B. Tucker Woodson B. Sleep Med Rev. 2008 Dec;12(6):463-79. doi: 10.1016/j.smrv.2008.07.010. Sleep Med Rev. 2008. PMID: 19010290 Review.
Obstructive sleep apnea results from the combination of a structurally small upper airway combined with the loss of muscle tone during sleep. Most therapies aim to reduce apnea severity by increasing airway size and stability. ...

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
Shepard JW Jr, Olsen KD. Shepard JW Jr, et al. Mayo Clin Proc. 1990 Sep;65(9):1260-7. doi: 10.1016/s0025-6196(12)62750-5. Mayo Clin Proc. 1990. PMID: 2205764 Review.
Although differences in surgical technique likely account for some of the variability, preoperative differences in the site (or sites) of upper airway collapse are also thought to influence the surgical results. Because UPPP involves resection of the uvula, distal margin o …
