A national survey was conducted concerning methods used for the evaluation of velopharyngeal function with emphasis on the role of nasendoscopy. Forty-five percent of questionnaires were returned. Ninety percent of the responding teams indicated that nasendoscopy was available. Sixty-one percent agreed that endoscopy was an important clinical tool and not solely a research tool. The majority (59%) considered 3 to 5 years of age to be the youngest, appropriate age for referral. Ninety percent agreed that nasendoscopy was indicated for difficult diagnostic problems and 41% reported endoscopic studies were appropriate for all patients for whom secondary palatal management is planned. The results of this survey suggest that endoscopic assessment of velopharyngeal function is used routinely as an adjunct to the perceptual evaluation of speech and has become the standard of care among cleft palate teams for difficult diagnostic cases. However, the data also indicate that increased availability does not necessarily assure optimal use.
