[Open nasal speech and velopharyngeal insufficiency in adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy].
Adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy are the most frequently recommended childhood ENT operations. Although current standards of practice are high, note still needs to be taken of indications, especially in patients with palatal anomalies. These are not always easily estimated or recognised. The origin and therapy of velopharyngeal insufficiency are of particular importance.
