Early Postoperative Complications in Primary Cleft Lip and Palate Repair: A Retrospective Analysis of 328 Cases

Abstract

Aim Primary cleft lip and palate (CLP) repair is the most critical stage throughout lifetime. CLP surgery involves risks of surgery and anaesthesia related complications. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate complications occurred in early period after primary CLP surgery and to determine early factors that trigger these conditions. Materials and Methods In this study 328 surgeries of 271 CLP patients were included. Complications were classified as minor complications such as fever occurring within first 3 days. Complications that cannot be treated with palliative care or required transfer to intensive care were considered as major complications. Epidemiology and causal link of early complications were statistically evaluated. Results Early complications were seen in 19% (n: 63) of all cases that operated for cleft lip and palate. Among them rate of minor complications were 9% (n: 25). It was determined that prolongation of anaesthesia lead to rising of minor complications such as deficiency in oral feeding. Major complications were observed in 11% (n: 38). These major complications were more common in bilateral cleft lip, syndromic, palate and male patients. Mean hospitalisation of complicated cases were 3.35 days. When compairing to noncomplicated cases there was increasing in hospitalisation time (p<0.05). Conclusion Minor complications can be prevented with careful intubation, anaesthesia and shortening surgery duration. Despite all these precautions, major complications still are very important problems in bilateral cleft lip, syndromic patients and male patients. Therefore, it is mandatory issue to be performed in centres where management of these complications are possible.
