[Repair of soft palate deficiencies in adults by Orticochea's method (author's transl)].
The authors describe their experience of an elegant technique described by Orticochea in 1968, and which consists of conducting a transposition of the posterior palatine pillars onto a posterior pharyngeal flap, closing the cleft laterally, and thus producing a dynamic pharyngoplasty. This method was applied in 6 exceptional cases with very severe sequelae from clefts or injuries, and results were assessed as being of good quality.
