Abstract

Objective: study on the current situation of patients with cleft palate. Method: Cross-sectional study on 60 patients with cleft palate at E Hospital from January to September 2024. Results: showed that the rate of cleft palate was 24% in the total number of patients undergoing humanitarian surgery. Patients with cleft palate had an average age of 10.85, new patients accounted for 55%, the rate of patients undergoing reoperation was 45% with complications of cleft palate after surgery, the head accounted for palatal fistula was 38% and 7% was short palate. The age of patients with cleft palate was mainly from 6 to 12 years old with 43.5%, the age of under 6 years old and over 12 years old had the same rate of 26.1% and 30.4%, respectively. Discussion: The rate of reoperation is high with the main complication being palatal fistula and at a relatively late age after initial cleft palate surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to promote early screening and long-term treatment planning for patients with cleft palate, while improving medical access in disadvantaged areas, creating conditions for patients to come for examination and treatment at the right stage of development.
