Abstract: An oral palatopharyngoplasty, was a surgical procedure developed in the 1980’s and first published in 1992. The purpose of the procedure was to reduce the incidence of palatal instability (PI) and subsequent dorsal displacement of the soft palate (DDSP). In the years following the first publication, the procedure underwent numerous modifications to improve the likelihood of obtaining useful increases in tension in the tissues supporting the palatine aponeurosis and at the same time reducing the incidence of wound breakdown. These changes have led to the present technique now referred to as a Modified Oral Palatopharyngoplasty or Modified Ahern Procedure.

I think the Synergy Publishers have set up a fast review system in the respects of quickly initial evaluation, quickly peer reviews and quickly final decisions. The attitude of reviewing manuscript is rigorous. The “tracking system” is concise and convenient. So this publication experience is joyful. Since the English is not the mother tongue for us, if editor give more suggestion on grammar and syntactical structure, it will help us a lot.
