Indication for pharyngeal flap operation was discussed particularly from the following 3 viewpoints; diseases and factors responsible for velopharyngeal incompetence, and the extent. Aerodynamic (pressure-flow) techniques now in use at our clinic were described, which permit objective evaluation of the degree of velopharyngeal incompetence. For the factor analysis of velopharyngeal incompetence, new X-ray techniques-cineradiography of the lateral pharyngeal wall movement and objective evaluation of velar mobility by double exposure technique were found to be of clinical value.
