Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to analyze the esthetic outcome of the first surgical repair of cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients.

The aim of the study is to identify differences in the aesthetic evaluation of full-face and nasolabial region 3-D images of CLP patients following primary lip repair by laypeople.


Clinical Trial Description

The management of cleft lip and palate patient's generally involves the soft palate reconstruction as well as the repair of lip and nasal soft tissue defects.

From an esthetic point of view, the primary repair, usually performed between 9 and 18 months of age, prepares the patients to grow into childhood and succeed in life without focusing on their deformity.

An increasing number of outcome measure rating systems has been raised, suggesting a lack of consensus to a reliable, validated and reproducible scoring system for facial aesthetics in cleft patients. Many templates and lay panel scoring systems have been described, yet never fully validated. Advanced 3D imaging technologies may produce validated outcome measures in the future, but presently there remains a need to develop a robust method of facial aesthetic evaluation based on standardised patient photographs.

The aim of the study is to to determine and compare the level of agreement among examiners' subjective aesthetic evaluation of full-face and nasolabial region 3-D images of CLP patients following primary lip repair by laypeople, developing some recommendations for a consistent scoring protocol. ;
