Abstract

Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) must be corrected by a surgical procedure or a prosthetic appliance. Both options must be customized according to imaging findings as provided by videonasopharyngoscopy (VNP) and multiplanar videofluoroscopy (MPVF). The purpose of this chapter is to describe the appropriate performance of VNP and MPVF for planning the surgical procedure for correcting VPI. VNP and MPVF provide the necessary information for planning the surgical treatment of VPI with the highest probability of success.
