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.
