Miguel Orticochea, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and creator of Plastic Surgery techniques that revolutionized the medical world, currently performs the technique that carries his name, Orticochea's Pharyngoplasty. This technique allows children born with a cleft palate to recover in most of the cases and leads them to speak normally. It also permits adults with this condition to improve their speech by correcting the velopharyngeal incompetence by building the Dynamic Muscular Sphincter.
