Background: Cleft palate repair often results in velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) as a complication which can cause persistent speech issues, psychosocial problems, and diminished overall quality of life. Pharyngeal flap surgery is frequently performed to treat stubborn VPI but more research is needed to assess its overall effect on patients’ functioning and well-being. To assess the effects of pharyngeal flap surgery on the quality of life of patients with cleft palate and VPI, evaluating changes in speech, emotional well-being, social interaction, and self-confidence. Methods: An observational study was carried out between January 2022 and January 2023 at Khalifa Gull Nawaz Medical Teaching Institute Bannu. It included 52 patients with diagnosed VPI who had previously undergone cleft palate repair. Data were collected both preoperatively and postoperatively through a validated quality of life instrument. In addition, speech therapy records along with the complication profiles and satisfaction scores of the parents, were also evaluated. Statistical analysis was conducted using paired t-tests. Results: Significant improvements were observed in all domains of quality of life following surgery. The mean overall score increased from 48.6 ± 9.2 to 78.4 ± 8.5 (p < 0.001). Speech function, emotional well-being, and social interaction scores also improved markedly. Most patients (73.1%) experienced no complications, and over 90% of caregivers reported being satisfied with the outcomes. Conclusion: Pharyngeal flap surgery substantially improves quality of life in patients with VPI, particularly in speech and psychosocial domains. The procedure is safe and well accepted by families, highlighting its role as a key component in comprehensive cleft care.
