Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript details a surgical procedure evaluating and altering the palate. The Randall classification system is used to assess how the uvula contacts the posterior pharynx, helping determine the surgical approach. The procedure involves marking and creating flaps, including oromuscular and oral mucosal only flaps on both sides, to achieve optimal posterior transposition of muscle layers. Careful incisions are made to preserve mucosal integrity and submucosal glands, ensuring the flaps are elevated correctly for effective reconstructive outcomes in a furlough palatoplasty. The goal is to maximize efficacy in Velar transposition and preserve nasal mucosa.
