Alterations in velopharyngeal function after maxillary advancement in cleft palate patients
74
TL;DR: Velopharyngeal function was assessed aerodynamically prior to surgery and at least 1 year following surgery in 24 cleft palate patients who underwent maxillary advancement and in 5 patients, improvement of velopharyngeAl function was observed.

A meta-analysis of cleft maxillary osteotomy and distraction osteogenesis
Lim Kwong Cheung,Hdp Chua +1 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that distraction osteogenesis tends to be preferred to conventional osteotomy for younger CLP patients with more severe deformities and in such cases it was feasible to use distraction to correct moderate to large movement of the maxilla by either complete or incomplete Le Fort I osteotomy, and a concurrent mandibular osteotomy was less frequently required.

Changes in speech following maxillary distraction osteogenesis.
TL;DR: In a predominately cleft palate population, the risk for velopharyngeal insufficiency following maxillary distraction is similar to the risk observed in Le Fort I maxillary advancement.

Predictors of velopharyngeal insufficiency after Le Fort I maxillary advancement in patients with cleft palate.
Ryan W. McComb,Eileen M. Marrinan,Roger C. Nuss,Richard A. LaBrie,John B. Mulliken,Bonnie L. Padwa +5 more
TL;DR: This study shows that a short soft palate is associated with VPI after Le Fort I osteotomy, and assessment of palatal length and pharyngeal depth on cephalometric radiographs is helpful in predicting postoperative VPI and need for a pharygeal flap in patients with cleft palate after maxillary advancement.

The effect of cranio-maxillofacial osteotomies and distraction osteogenesis on speech and velopharyngeal status: a critical review
TL;DR: The methods employed in previous studies to explain discrepancies in results, and to make recommendations for future studies are reviewed to review the impact of maxillary advancement by orthognathic surgery and distraction osteogenesis on speech and velopharyngeal status.

Maxillary distraction versus orthognathic surgery in cleft lip and palate patients: effects on speech and velopharyngeal function.
TL;DR: It was concluded that DO has no advantage over CO for the purpose of preventing velopharyngeal incompetence and speech disturbance in moderate cleft maxillary advancement.

Logopaedic findings following advancement of the maxilla.
Cécile Schwarz,Erika Gruner +1 more
TL;DR: From 1972 to 1974, the authors carried out logopaedic examinations of over 100 patients with retrodisplaced maxillae at the Clinic for Maxillo-Facial Surgery at the University of Zurich, and the effect of the advancement of the maxilla on the individual ability to articulate was studied.

Velopharyngeal insufficiency after maxillary advancement.
Mary Anne Witzel,Ian R. Munro +1 more
TL;DR: It is reported that velopharyngeal insufficiency after maxillary advancement in a 16-year-old boy underlines the need for systematic, quantitative investigation of the effects of this new operation on speech and velopegeal function.
