1991). In 1876, Schenborn also attempted to reduce the amount of air entering the nasal cavity by developing the first true inferior based pharyngeal flap surgery, where a flap of tissue was sutured into the velum and attached to the lower end of the posterior pharyngeal wall. (wikipedia.org)
Modifying his technique, Schoenborn published a superior based pharyngeal flap surgery in 1886, where the flap of tissue attached to the upper end of the posterior pharyngeal wall is peninsula together. (wikipedia.org)
The drug induced sleep state endoscopy revealed grade IV lingual tonsil hypertrophy causing obstruction of the airway with collapse of the epiglottis to the posterior pharyngeal wall. (csurgeries.com)
Tonsils2
They are also known as Lushka's tonsil (by Santorini), Nasopharyngeal vegetations/ and nasopharyngeal tonsils. (drsanu.com)
The anterior aponeurotic portion is attached to the posterior border of the hard palate, and the posterior muscular portion hangs between the mouth and the pharynx and is termed the palatine velum (or velopharynx). (medscape.com)
In 75% of patients with sleep apnea syndrome because of the presence of a more or less soft palate and the problem of swollen palatine uvula, the posterior pharyngeal area is the most common area of surgical intervention. (sleepsurgery2019.com)
When deciding on a surgical technique, the soft palate, palatine uvula, and posterior pharynx should be carefully evaluated in addition to the medically assisted sleep analysis procedure. (sleepsurgery2019.com)
Considering the traumatic nature and disadvantages of the classical operation on the palatine part, called uvulopharyngopaloplasty (UPPP) due to the possible development of several complications in the postoperative period, in recent years, various surgical techniques have been developed, whose application is determined in accordance with the anatomical structure of the patient and the content of the disease. (sleepsurgery2019.com)
After soft palate surgery, complications such as insufficient closure of the palatine ring (velopharyngeal insufficiency), bleeding, infections, complaints of mucous nasal discharge, difficulty swallowing, taste disorders, and tongue numbness are possible. (sleepsurgery2019.com)
Palate6
Although advances in reconstructive techniques and prosthetic reconstruction have allowed for more effective surgical resection and rehabilitation for patients with soft palate cancers, radiation therapy remains the primary treatment modality in many centers for T1, T2, and T3 lesions, with results comparable with those of surgery. (medscape.com)
The soft palate marks the beginning of the oropharynx and it is the mobile posterior third of the palate. (medscape.com)
When the soft palate is relaxed, its anterior surface is concave and its posterior surface is convex. (medscape.com)
In 1928, Rosenthal used an inferiorly based posterior pharyngeal flap in combination with a modified von Langenbeck palatoplasty in primary surgery for cleft palate repair. (wikipedia.org)
This review is focused on the deformity features, intervention timing, technique selection, airway support, and outcome evaluation of cleft palate among patients with PRS, aiming to provide reference to further evolution in the management of PRS-related cleft palate. (bvsalud.org)
Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Oropharyngeal cancer refers to cancer of the tonsil, base and posterior one third of the tongue, soft palate, and posterior and lateral pharyngeal walls. (msdmanuals.com)
Nasal1
Posterior pharyngeal flap surgery is the most commonly used operation to restore velopharyngeal competence (i.e., develop a functional seal between the vocal and the oral cavity), and therefore correct hypernasality and nasal air escape (Ysunza et al. (wikipedia.org)
Collapse1
During the procedure, the location of collapse (ie, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and/or hypopharyngeal) and the specific structures causing obstruction are identified to guide future surgical intervention. (medscape.com)
Tongue2
On the other hand, almost half of patients have problems with the nasopharyngeal area, such as septal deformities and tongue root protrusion. (sleepsurgery2019.com)
Lingual tonsillectomy has been approached by a variety of different surgical techniques including electrocautery, CO2 laser, cold ablation (coblation) and microdebridement.4-9 Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has also been used to improve exposure of the tongue base to perform lingual tonsillectomy.10-13 At this time, there is not enough evidence to support that one of these techniques is superior. (csurgeries.com)
Surgical1
anteroposterior, left-right or circular view directly influences the choice of surgical technique, therefore all patients scheduled for surgery should undergo a sleep endoscopy exam performed with special medical equipment to measure parameters and comprehensively describe the location and shape of the disease. (sleepsurgery2019.com)
Wall2
Adenoids are a subepithelial collection of lymphoid tissue, which is present at the junction of the roof and posterior wall of the nasopharynx . (drsanu.com)
By around 4-6 weeks of gestational age, lymphoid tissues can be identified with in mucus membrane of roof and posterior wall of nasopharynx. (drsanu.com)
Size1
Compared to superiorly based flaps, inferiorly based flaps are limited in regard to the size of velopharyngeal opening that can be covered (Peterson-Falzone et al. (wikipedia.org)
Patients1
1999). Pharyngeal flap surgery may be recommended to resolve velopharyngeal inadequacy after patients prove unable to achieve significant speech improvements through speech therapy alone. (wikipedia.org)
Surgery1
By the 1950s, posterior pharyngeal flap surgery became widely adopted in the correction of VPI (Peterson-Falzone et al. (wikipedia.org)
Hard palate1
The anterior aponeurotic portion is attached to the posterior border of the hard palate, and the posterior muscular portion hangs between the mouth and the pharynx and is termed the palatine velum (or velopharynx). (medscape.com)
Cleft palate2
In 1928, Rosenthal used an inferiorly based posterior pharyngeal flap in combination with a modified von Langenbeck palatoplasty in primary surgery for cleft palate repair. (wikipedia.org)

Pharyngeal8
Posterior pharyngeal flap surgery is the most commonly used operation to restore velopharyngeal competence (i.e., develop a functional seal between the vocal and the oral cavity), and therefore correct hypernasality and nasal air escape (Ysunza et al. (wikipedia.org)
2002). Posterior pharyngeal flaps can be based superiorly or inferiorly and the velum can be split transversely or along the midline (Lideman-Boshki et al. (wikipedia.org)
1991). In 1876, Schenborn also attempted to reduce the amount of air entering the nasal cavity by developing the first true inferior based pharyngeal flap surgery, where a flap of tissue was sutured into the velum and attached to the lower end of the posterior pharyngeal wall. (wikipedia.org)

By the 1950s, posterior pharyngeal flap surgery became widely adopted in the correction of VPI (Peterson-Falzone et al. (wikipedia.org)
2001). In the 1970s, Hogan and Shprintzen advanced posterior pharyngeal flaps, leading to an increased success rate in the elimination of VPI. (wikipedia.org)
