| pubmed-article:1410011 | pubmed:abstractText | Myomucosal flaps employing the palatoglossi were used to correct posttonsillectomy velopharyngeal insufficiency because the palatopharyngeus were resected with the posterior tonsillar pillar. This new sphincter pharyngoplasty may have a role as a secondary option for treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency. It should be remembered that this operation has only been performed in a single patient without cleft palate, and, therefore, its application in the cleft population and its potential complication rate are unknown. | lld:pubmed |
