Pharyngeal flap and sphincter pharyngoplasty achieved satisfactory closure in larger defects but increased the risk of airway obstruction. However, most studies lacked validated speech protocols or controlled for articulatory errors and fistula effects, limiting confidence in the interpretation of outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While secondary repairs often improve resonance and velopharyngeal competence, evidence remains constrained by heterogeneity and non-validated assessment methods.
