Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is a structural disorder characterized by inadequate closure of the velopharyngeal (VP) port during speech, leading to hypernasality and nasal air escape. Diagnosis is confirmed through imaging techniques, such as nasendoscopy or videofluoroscopy, performed during speech tasks. Speech-language pathologists play a crucial role in the assessment and management of VPI, informing decisions on therapy initiation, imaging readiness, and postoperative care. In cases of language delay, therapy should focus on integrating language goals with articulation therapy, emphasizing accurate sound production to enhance intelligibility and overall communication effectiveness. Speech therapy is crucial for addressing maladaptive compensatory articulation errors, such as glottal stops, even prior to surgical intervention. Postoperative therapy involves continued articulation work and monitoring for persistent symptoms, with referrals for further imaging if necessary. This comprehensive approach underscores the Speech-language pathologist’s role in the multidisciplinary management of VPI.
舌咽部功能不全(VPI)是一种结构障碍,其特征是在说话时舌咽部(VP)端口关闭不足,导致鼻音过高和鼻腔空气逸出。诊断是通过成像技术,如鼻内窥镜或视频透视,在讲话任务中进行。语言病理学家在VPI的评估和管理中起着至关重要的作用,为治疗开始、成像准备和术后护理提供信息。在语言迟缓的情况下,治疗应注重将语言目标与发音治疗相结合,强调准确发声以提高可理解性和整体沟通效果。语言治疗是解决不适应代偿性发音错误的关键,如声门停止,甚至在手术干预之前。术后治疗包括持续的关节活动和持续症状的监测,必要时转诊进一步影像学检查。这种全面的方法强调了语言病理学家在VPI多学科管理中的作用。

Immediate dental restoration (IDR) for patients undergoing osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction of the midface and mandible has great potential in improving quality of life among patients suffering from severe maxillofacial trauma, benign and malignant head and neck tumors, or osteoradionecrosis. However, there has been some hesitation for wide adaptation of IDR given the hostile nature of the oral cavity and the frequent need for adjuvant radiation, leading to delaying implantation until after completion of treatment, or often foregoing dental rehabilitation all together. To improve accessibility of integrating IDR into reconstructive practice, we present a pictorial essay and operative considerations. We illustrate the steps in completing IDR, including variations of free-handing dental implants. Additionally, we cover the preoperative and postoperative considerations necessary to ensure viability and success of the implants. This pictorial essay enables reconstructive surgeons to more readily integrate immediate dental implantation into their practice, which has the potential to improve overall patient satisfaction and quality of life for those recovering from devastating injuries or cancer.
即刻牙修复(IDR)对于颌面部严重创伤、头颈部良性、恶性肿瘤、骨放射性坏死患者行中下颌骨皮游离皮瓣重建具有很大的改善生活质量的潜力。然而,由于口腔的恶劣性质和经常需要辅助放疗,IDR的广泛应用一直存在一些犹豫,导致种植延迟到治疗完成后,或者经常放弃牙齿康复。为了提高将IDR整合到重建实践中的可及性,我们提出了一篇图片文章和操作考虑。我们说明了完成IDR的步骤,包括自由处理牙种植体的变化。此外,我们还涵盖了术前和术后必要的考虑因素,以确保植入物的生存能力和成功。这篇图片文章使重建外科医生能够更容易地将即时种植纳入他们的实践,这有可能提高患者的整体满意度和生活质量,为那些从毁灭性的伤害或癌症中恢复。

A thorough understanding of palatal anatomy and velopharyngeal function is fundamental to the pediatric otolaryngologist managing children with speech disorders and cleft-related anomalies. The hard palate provides a passive structural partition between the oral and nasal cavities, while the soft palate acts as a dynamic sphincter—essential for normal speech resonance, effective swallowing, and nasal airway patency. This review details the embryologic origins, structural anatomy, and muscular components of the palate, with emphasis on the functional interplay of the levator veli palatini, tensor veli palatini, palatoglossus, and palatopharyngeus muscles in forming the velopharyngeal sphincter (VPS). Key patterns of velopharyngeal closure—coronal, sagittal, circular, and circular with Passavant’s ridge—are reviewed in the context of normal and pathologic speech production. Special attention is given to the altered anatomy observed in cleft palate, including aberrant muscle orientation and insertion in the cleft velum, and the clinical implications for surgical repair and postoperative speech outcomes. Submucous cleft palate is also addressed, highlighting its often-delayed diagnosis and characteristic anatomical features. This comprehensive anatomical and functional review aims to support clinical decision-making and surgical planning in the care of children with velopharyngeal dysfunction.
全面了解腭解剖和腭咽功能是儿科耳鼻喉科医生处理言语障碍和唇裂相关异常儿童的基础。硬腭在口腔和鼻腔之间提供了一个被动的结构分隔,而软腭作为一个动态的括约肌——对于正常的语音共振、有效的吞咽和鼻气道通畅至关重要。本文详细介绍了腭的胚胎起源、结构解剖学和肌肉组成,重点介绍了提腭腭肌、腭腭张肌、腭舌肌和腭咽肌在形成腭咽括约肌(VPS)中的功能相互作用。在正常和病理语言产生的背景下,回顾了腭咽关闭的关键模式-冠状,矢状,圆形和Passavant 's脊圆形。本文特别关注腭裂解剖结构的改变,包括腭裂中肌肉方向和插入的异常,以及对手术修复和术后言语预后的临床意义。粘膜下腭裂也被讨论,强调其经常延迟诊断和特征解剖特征。这项全面的解剖和功能的回顾,旨在支持临床决策和手术计划的护理与腭咽功能障碍的儿童。

Midline posterior myo-mucosal pharyngeal flap is the main “workhorse” surgery for the correction of velopharyngeal (VP) insufficiency. This technique is most suitable for large incompetency of the VP sphincter, which do have lateral pharyngeal wall motion. The superiorly based flap is elevated from the posterior pharyngeal wall, rotated, and attached to the soft palate (velum), to obstruct the center of the VP sphincter, while leaving lateral ports on its sides to allow nasal breathing and proper nasal sounds (n, m, ng) pronounce. Stages of the surgery include flap elevation, velar recipient site preparation, suturing flap free end to velum to create a tissue bridge between the posterior pharyngeal wall to the velum, and approximation of donor site. This surgery has excellent success rate in solving VP insufficiency when tailored to suitable patients selected by pre-operative ENT and Speech and Language Pathologist evaluation. Possible complications include sleep disordered breathing and nasal obstruction; both can be mitigated by proper design of the flap to be superior enough and with bilateral patent lateral ports.
后中线肌粘膜咽瓣是矫正腭咽功能不全的主要手术。这项技术最适合于有咽壁外侧运动的副副括约肌功能不全的患者。上基瓣从咽后壁抬高,旋转并附着在软腭(腭膜)上,阻塞副副括约肌的中心,同时在其两侧留下外侧口,以允许鼻腔呼吸和正确的鼻音(n, m, ng)发音。手术阶段包括皮瓣提升,掌膜受体部位准备,将皮瓣游离端缝合至掌膜,在咽后壁与掌膜之间建立组织桥,以及接近供区。通过术前耳鼻喉科和语言病理学家评估选择合适的患者,该手术解决VP功能不全的成功率很高。可能的并发症包括睡眠呼吸障碍和鼻塞;这两种情况都可以通过适当的皮瓣设计来缓解,使其足够优越,并具有双侧专利侧口。

In this retrospective study, we compared outcomes and complications following total laryngectomy (TL) in patients who received manual or mechanical (ECHELON™ Automatic Stapler) suturing for pharyngeal closure. Seventy patients with endolaryngeal or anterior extralaryngeal extension squamous cell carcinoma undergoing primary TL were analyzed across 2 tertiary centers in Italy. Patients were divided based on suture type: manual traditional or mechanical with the Automatic Stapler. Demographic data, surgical time, hospitalization length, and pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) incidence were compared. Results showed no significant differences in gender, T and N stage, or previous tracheotomy between groups, although patients receiving mechanical sutures were statistically older. Mechanical closure significantly reduced PCF incidence (P = 0.0052), hospital stay (P = 0.0461), and operative time (P = 0.0229) compared to manual closure. However, the retrospective nature of this study and potential selection bias must be acknowledged, as well as the variability in surgical techniques among different surgeons. These findings suggest that mechanical stapler closure post-TL may offer advantages in selected cases, demonstrating decreased PCF rates, shorter hospital stays, and reduced operative times. Beyond statistical significance, these results have important clinical implications, potentially improving patient recovery and optimizing surgical resource allocation.
在这项回顾性研究中,我们比较了接受手动或机械(ECHELON™自动吻合器)缝合咽部的全喉切除术(TL)患者的结局和并发症。本文分析了意大利2个三级中心的70例咽内或咽前外伸鳞状细胞癌行原发性TL的患者。根据缝合方式对患者进行分组:手工传统缝合或机械自动缝合。比较人口学资料、手术时间、住院时间和咽皮瘘(PCF)发生率。结果显示,两组患者在性别、T期和N期、既往气管切开术等方面均无显著差异,但接受机械缝合的患者年龄较大。与手工闭合相比,机械闭合可显著降低PCF发生率(P = 0.0052)、住院时间(P = 0.0461)和手术时间(P = 0.0229)。然而,必须承认本研究的回顾性和潜在的选择偏差,以及不同外科医生手术技术的可变性。这些研究结果表明,机械吻合器在tl后闭合可能在特定病例中具有优势,显示出PCF率降低、住院时间缩短和手术时间缩短。除了统计学意义之外,这些结果具有重要的临床意义,可能会改善患者的康复和优化手术资源分配。

Buccal flap for velopharyngeal insufficiency and cleft palate reconstruction 颊瓣治疗腭咽功能不全及腭裂重建术

The cleft palate is sometimes viewed as a gap where the normal anatomy is separated. Instead, we suggest looking at it as a void created by the absence of tissue. Multiple tissue types are entirely missing, thus severely impacting both form and function. The goal should therefore be to replace the absent tissue and not simply to pull the cleft “gap” back together. We believe that those who receive buccal flap repair will present with a longer and more effective velum. We present an effective technique, providing palatal closure without tension, good muscular reconstruction, lengthening of the nasal layer, and no raw surfaces.
腭裂有时被看作是正常解剖结构分离的间隙。相反,我们建议把它看作是由组织缺失造成的空洞。多种组织类型完全缺失,因此严重影响了形式和功能。因此,目标应该是替换缺失的组织,而不是简单地将断裂的“间隙”拉回一起。我们相信那些接受颊瓣修复的人会有一个更长更有效的膜。我们提出了一种有效的技术,提供腭闭合无张力,良好的肌肉重建,延长鼻层,没有原始表面。

Placement of the silicone keel in the anterior commissure after division of the web/fibrosis has been well documented and various methods have been described. We describe a simple technique of making a silicone keel and fixing it after endoscopic placement, with a percutaneous suture. We used a medical grade silicone sheet 0.5 mm-1 mm thickness which could be easily modified in length and breadth with scissors to suit the individual patient. A 2-0 prolene was used to pass through the anterior border of the keel. An 18-20 guage needle is used to puncture skin surface in midline through the crico-thyroid and thyro-hyoid membranes. A 2-0 prolene thread is passed through the bevel of the needle used as conduit. These ends were tied to have a secure knot and burried subcutaneously. A silicone keel could be applied without special instrumentation with reasonable outcomes of voice and patent airway.
硅胶龙骨在骨网/纤维化分裂后放置在前连合中已经有很好的文献记载,并且描述了各种方法。我们描述了一个简单的技术,使硅胶龙骨和固定后,内窥镜放置,经皮缝合。我们使用了0.5 mm-1 mm厚度的医用级硅胶片,可以很容易地用剪刀修改长度和宽度,以适应个体患者。一根2-0 prolene被用来穿过龙骨的前缘。用18-20号针头穿过环甲状腺膜和甲状腺舌骨膜穿刺皮肤表面中线。一根2-0腈纶线穿过用作导管的针的斜角。这些末端被绑成一个安全的结,然后埋在皮下。硅胶龙骨无需特殊器械即可使用,语音效果合理,气道通畅。
