OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes of sphincter pharyngoplasties, including speech outcomes, revision surgeries, and postoperative incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). DESIGN: Retrospective matched-cohort study SETTING: Two craniofacial centers in Los Angeles, CA PATIENTS: Patients (n = 166) with cleft lip and palate (CLP) or isolated cleft palate (iCP) who underwent sphincter pharyngoplasty from 1992 to 2022 were identified. An age- and diagnosis-matched control group of 67 patients with CLP/iCP without velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) was also identified. INTERVENTIONS: The pharyngoplasty group underwent sphincter pharyngoplasty, whereas the non-VPI group had no history of VPI surgery or sphincter pharyngoplasty. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Postoperative speech outcomes, revision surgeries, and incidence of OSA were evaluated. Multivariable regression was used to evaluate independent predictors of OSA. RESULTS: Among the patients in the pharyngoplasty cohort, 63.9% demonstrated improved and sustained speech outcomes after a single pharyngoplasty, with a median postoperative follow-up of 8.8 years (interquartile range [IQR], 3.6-12.0 years). One-third of the patients who underwent pharyngoplasty required a revision surgery, with a median time to primary revision of 3.9 years (IQR, 1.9-7.0 years). OSA rates increased significantly among the pharyngoplasty cohort, from 3% before surgery to 14.5% after surgery (p < 0.001). The average time from sphincter pharyngoplasty to OSA diagnosis was 4.4 ± 2.4 years. Multivariable analysis results indicated that sphincter pharyngoplasty surgery was independently associated with a fourfold increase in OSA (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Although sphincter pharyngoplasty remains successful in improving long-term speech outcomes, persistent OSA is a sequela that should be monitored beyond the immediate postoperative period.
