Nasopharyngoscopy (NPS) was used for velopharyngeal function evaluation. CP was classified according to the Veau system and the \u201cGolding-Kushner\u201d scale for NPS results was used for assessing the patient\u2019s velopharyngeal function and its association with cleft types and the primary palatoplasty techniques.
