Modified two-flaps palatoplasty with lateral mucus relaxing incision in cleft repair: A STROBE-compliant retrospective study

Conclusions: We propose a technique to improve the function of the velopharyngeal closure which effectively reduces the incidence of pharyngeal insufficiency and occurrence of operative correction of pharyngeal closure dysfunction. The modifed two-flap palatoplasty with posterior lateral symmetric mucosal relaxation incision is beneficial for better velopharyngeal closure.
