This letter is about a recent publication in the Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal titled: “The significance of uvula after palatoplasty: A new technique to improve the aesthetic outcome” published by Elsherbiny et al (Cleft Palate Craniofacial J 2018;55(3):451-455). The authors present the use of one hemi-uvula for uvular repair during primary palatoplasty as their “new technique.” The method of primary uvuloplasty using one-hemiuvula was extensively used by different surgeons in south America and presented and published in different scientific meetings and indexed scientific journals since the 90s. The original concept was described by Carlos Navarro in Perú and published by me in different scientific indexed journals and a textbook.

Objective: This study aims to examine the importance of the uvula as a part of palatoplasty outcome and to assess the aesthetic results of the conventional versus a new technique for uvuloplasty. Design/Participants: The study included 2 groups of patients undergoing palatoplasty. Group I consisted of 20 cleft palate patients repaired with the conventional uvula repair, combining the 2 hemi-uvulae. Group II consisted of 20 patients repaired with our new technique, sacrificing one hemi-uvula and centralizing the remaining one. The aesthetic outcome was assessed in both groups. A questionnaire was distributed to the families of both groups to assess their concern about the uvula after palate repair. Setting: Cleft unit at a tertiary care center. Results: Sixty-five percent of parents considered the uvula as important functionally and aesthetically after palate repair whereas 35% either did not care or were not sure about its importance. Results of the aesthetic outcome of the 2 techniques for uvula reconstruction showed that uvula was absent in 4 cases in group I versus 1 in group II ( P > .05), small in 8 cases of group I versus 4 in group II ( P > .05), bifid in 5 cases of group I versus none in group II ( P < .05), became deviated in no case of group I versus 4 in group II ( P > .05), and was satisfactory in 3 cases of group I versus 11 in group II ( P < .05). Conclusions: Among the respondents, the uvula was a significant concern to the parents of cleft patients and should be given more attention during repair. The described technique had better aesthetic outcome over the conventional one of combining the 2 hemi-uvulae.

EDITORIAL Apart from being a journal that can publish scientific articles from all disciplines of science and technology, Aloha International Journal of Multidisciplinary Advancement (AIJMU) also opens opportunities for authors to publish scientific papers in various forms, both research and non-research articles; what is important is scientific and beneficial to the scientific community. One segment of the scientific community that is in dire need of important information from journals is diploma and undergraduate students. They really need basic level sciences, which can help them to complete their studies. Therefore, AIJMU invited lecturers and researchers to publish articles in tutorial form. The tutorial material is expected to be a new technique or procedure which is a scientific finding that needs to be introduced to the scientific community immediately, but it is also possible to publish other types of tutorials that are considered useful for the scientific community. As an article that is a practical guide, of course, it is likely that the size of the article is relatively long, so especially for tutorial articles, the number of words allowed is not limited, but it is hoped that the author uses a concise and simple presentation style. It is hoped that the tutorial articles published in this journal can really help practitioners, academics and students, who in turn can contribute to the development of science and technology in all disciplines of science and technology.
