No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The velopharyngeal valve is a tridimensional muscular valve that is located between the oral and nasal cavities. It consists of the lateral and posterior pharyngeal walls as well as the soft palate. The role of the velopharyngeal valve is to separate the oral and nasal cavities during speech and swallowing.

Conditions

  • Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
  • Velopharyngeal Incompetence Due to Cleft Palate

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Partial adenoidectomy

The procedure will be completely visualized with a 45 degrees, 4- mm nasal endoscope; the upper part of the adenoid will be removed using the microdebrider, while the lower part will be preserves to maintain the velopharyngeal competence. • Adenoid enlargement causing Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing (OSDB) with velopharyngeal insufficiency (proved or suspected).
