Sphincter pharyngoplasty.
Jackson IT. Jackson IT. Clin Plast Surg. 1985 Oct;12(4):711-7. Clin Plast Surg. 1985. PMID: 3905177
A modified version of sphincter pharyngoplasty, based on the work of Hynes and especially Orticochea, is described. The main benefit accruing from this technique is a scar-free sphincter mechanism in the correct position and therefore, it is hoped, with more physiol …

Optimizing speech outcomes for cleft palate.
Lindeborg MM, Shakya P, Rai SM, Shaye DA. Lindeborg MM, et al. Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2020 Aug;28(4):206-211. doi: 10.1097/MOO.0000000000000635. Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2020. PMID: 32520757 Review.
For postoperative speech deficits, there is no significant difference between the pharyngeal flap, sphincter pharyngoplasty, and posterior pharyngeal wall augmentation. Surgical management should be guided by closure pattern and velopharyngeal gap but few studies st …
