OUTCOMES OF TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION: POST-OPERATIVE STATUS OF CHILDREN WITH CLEFT LIP AND/OR PALATE AT HANOI CENTRAL ODONTO STOMATOLOGY HOSPITAL, 2019-2021
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of treatment and rehabilitation of children with cleft lip and/or cleft palate who underwent surgery. Methodology: CA cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 196 children under 15 years of age with cleft lip and/or palate who attended treatment at Hanoi Central Odonto-Stomatology Hospital in 2019-2021. Results: The rate of early complications occurring within the first one weeks after surgery was quite high (58.7%) in which hematoma and bruising were the most common (83.5%). The ability to chew improved most markedly after surgery and reached over 85% after 6 months, followed by the ability to pronounce. The rate of slightly stretched scars and hypertrophic scar within the first one month and six months after surgery still accounted for the majority. Children have positive expressions and changes to integrate into the community and society. Conclusion: The study showed a positive impact of surgery in improving the physical, mental and functional health of children with cleft lip and/or cleft palate despite the early complication rate after surgery being quite high. However, children still face some barriers to integrating and adapting to the community.
