TLDR
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.About:

Complications following orthognathic surgery for patients with cleft lip/palate: A systematic review
TL;DR: A systematic review of available data for complications following orthognathic surgery in cleft lip and/or palate patients finds that a prospective multicenter study with clearly defined criteria for each complication is needed to obtain a dataset with higher evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morbidity and Mortality Rates After Maxillomandibular Advancement for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
TL;DR: The patients in the OSA group were older, had more comorbidities, and ultimately had a greater number of early, late, minor, and major complications than those in the DFD group.

CLEFT-Q: Detecting Differences in Outcomes among 2434 Patients with Varying Cleft Types.

TL;DR: Patient-reported outcomes measured with the CLEFT-Q vary significantly with cleft type, and visualizing multiple outcomes simultaneously with radar charts allows for an understanding of a patient's overall status in a single graph.

Three-dimensional evaluation of the airway spaces in patients with and without cleft lip and palate: A digital volume tomographic study
TL;DR: The anteroposterior dimensions of the oropharyngeal airway were significantly reduced in the study subjects compared with the control group at the level of the postnasal spine, the base of the tongue, and the epiglottis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiology of Cleft Lip and Palate: Imaging for the Prenatal Period and throughout Life.
TL;DR: Clinically, CLP and isolated cleft palate are distinct entities with shared radiologic appearances and their prenatal and postnatal appearances at radiography, ultrasonography (US), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and computed tomography (CT) are described and illustrated.

Frequency of Le Fort I osteotomy after repaired cleft lip and palate or cleft palate.
TL;DR: Overall frequency of Le Fort I was 20.9% in patients with cleft lip and palate and cleft palate, correlated with the spectrum of severity of labiopalatal clefting.

Middle-third facial osteotomies: their use in the correction of acquired and developmental dentofacial and craniofacial deformities.
B N Epker,L M Wolford +1 more
TL;DR: Those middle-third dentofacial and craniofacial deformities that occur most frequently are discussed and the methods of clinical, cephalometric, and occlusal evaluation, as well as the various surgical approaches and results of treatment are illustrated.

The effects of Le Fort I osteotomies on velopharyngeal and speech functions in cleft patients.

TL;DR: This study confirms previous findings that patients with clefts of the lip and palate or palate alone are predisposed to velopharyngeal function alteration after maxillary advancement, particularly with borderline function preoperatively, but shows that surgical correction of skeletal relationships and occlusion may translate into improvements in certain aspects of speech disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between the characteristics of speech and velopharyngeal gap size.
TL;DR: This investigation revealed that some information regarding velopharyngeal gap size may be predicted from the speech assessment alone, and confidence in the prediction is strongest if the patient has nasal rustle, suggesting a small gap, or if the customer has moderate to severe hypernasality, which is more commonly associated with a large opening.
