The exception is the oropharyngeal airway, which was slightly larger in the cleft group compared with controls. Future research is needed to further evaluate the functional implications of these anatomical differences and to compare outcomes across different surgical approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10556656261475007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]],"date-time":"2026-08-06T14:13:23Z","timestamp":1786025603000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pharyngeal Airway Volumes in Adults With Cleft Palate: Comparing an Anatomic Cleft Restoration Philosophy \u201cBuccal Flap\u201d Palatoplasty and Non-Cleft Controls"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9969-7415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"East Carolina University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Mann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan Medical School"},{"name":"Michigan State University College of Human Medicine"},{"name":"Healing the Children"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6758-9791","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abigail E.","family":"Haenssler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MGH Institute of Health Professions"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Mann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiangming","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"East Carolina University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9084-3428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed O.","family":"Lawal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"East Carolina University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7866-9159","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jamie L.","family":"Perry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"East Carolina University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
