Notes: Summary Forty-five children with unilateral cleft lip and palate, who underwent two-flap palatoplasty as described by Bardach [6], were examined primarily for speech patterns using a previously designed protocol. Results indicated that in 80% of patients, velopharyngeal function was within normal limits. However, more than half (62%) needed further dental treatment or speech therapy (51%) before normal speech production could be expected. These findings indicate that the two-flap method is highly satisfactory as a technique for primary palatoplasty.
