我们试图了解为什么一些佩戴闭孔器的患者可以忍受系统性咽部缩小，并最终可以在不损害其言语和声音质量的情况下丢弃闭孔器，而其他患者则不能。治疗时患者的年龄似乎是闭孔缩小计划取得成功的最重要和最有价值的因素。对于精心挑选的年轻患者来说，这种方法似乎是为他们提供社会可接受的言语的最明智的步骤。只要考虑到性别、合作、腭裂直系家族史、随访和临床医生的坚持等因素，许多患者最终不需要佩戴闭孔器的可能性似乎相当不错。
An attempt was made to understand why some obturator-wearing patients can tolerate systematic pharyngeal section reductions and eventually can discard their obturators without detriment to their speech and vocal quality while others cannot. The age of the patient when treated appears to be the most important and valuable factor in achieving success in an obturator reduction program. This approach for carefully selected young patients seems to be the most advisable step to take in providing them with socially acceptable speech. The probability of many patients eventually not needing to wear obturators appears reasonably good so long as factors such as sex, cooperation, immediate family history of cleft palate, follow-up, and the clinician's persistence are considered.
