The success of cleft palate surgery is specifically determined by the subsequent speech characteristics. There are several types of surgical techniques to repair the palate. The surgeon chooses his or her own technique according to the principles (s)he have established based on experience. The main purpose of this study is to determine and to compare the long-term speech outcome (18 years after surgery) regarding overall intelligibility, articulation, resonance, and voice after one-stage Wardill-Kilner palatoplasty or two-stage Furlow palatoplasty. The authors hypothesized that a decreased overall intelligibility, more compensatory articulation disorders, higher nasalance values and more nasality disorders would occur in the two-stage Furlow palatoplasty. Moreover, an increased risk for dysphonic symptoms, caused by the more intensive vocal tract activities, were expected in subjects with higher nasalance scores. An additional objective of this study was to compare the speech and voice characteristics with the age related normative data. Significant differences between the resonance and voice characteristics of the two techniques of palatoplasty and the normative data were hypothesized.
