pubmed:abstractText |
Dysfunction of the soft palate is devastating to the patient's quality of life, resulting in unintelligible speech and poor swallowing. Reconstruction of the soft palate is complex because the dynamic fibromuscular structure cannot be duplicated. The efficacy of soft palate reconstruction has therefore been called into question. The purpose of this article is: (1) to describe our comprehensive surgical paradigm for soft palate reconstruction, (2) to provide details of the surgical techniques used, and (3) to report on patient functional outcomes.
