Abstract |
Objective |
Comparing functional outcomes after velar repair appeared to be difficult because of the absence of international standardized scale. Moreover most of the studies evaluating speech after cleft surgery present multiple biases. The aim of our study was to assess speech outcomes in a homogeneous group of patients, and to define an equivalence table between different speech scales.
Materials and methods |
Patients with isolated cleft lip and palate (CLP), operated in our unit by the same senior surgeon were included. All patient were operated according to the same protocol (cheilo-rhinoplasty and intravelar veloplasty at 6 months, followed by a direct closure of the hard palate at 15 months). Speech evaluation was performed after 3 year-old and before the alveolar cleft repair. Borel-Maisonny scale and nasometry were used for speech evaluation.
Results |
Twenty-four patients were included: 17 unilateral CLP and 7 bilateral CLP. According to the Borel-Maisonny classifications, 82.5% were ranged phonation 1, 1-2 or 2b. Nasometry were normal in almost 60% of cases.
Conclusions |
This study showed the efficiency of our protocol, and intravelar veloplasty. Moreover we proposed an equivalence table for speech evaluation scale.
