Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare types of and risk factors for cleft lip and palate in a Guatemalan population to a United States population.
The main objective of this study is to provide data about treatment protocols for CLP patients in Egypt, and compare it to the management protocol suggested by the ACPA.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of orbicularis oris muscle z-plasty modification of modified Millard technique on the esthetic outcome and length of the repaired lip
This project aims to assess a new type of Augmented Reality Patient Information leaflet, in order to demonstrate that it is a beneficial information resource to patients when facing the diagnosis of sarcoma, breast cancer or to explain difficult concepts such as cleft lip repair. There are no published studies on the use of AR in patient leaflets.
This is a prospective observational cohort study of consecutive patients with cleft lip and palate deformity undergoing cleft repair at the Institute of Mother and Child in Warsaw. Cleft morphology will be captured with photo and intraoral camera before routine surgery at around 8 months. Furthermore, wound healing at 3 months postoperative will be assessed.
Single blind prospective randomized comparative study. 76 children between 6 months and 3 years with cleft lip will be divided in two groups. 38 children group C conventional group and 38 children group S infraorbital nerve block group.
compare different effects of Rotation-advancement based on the Millard technique and Straight-line based on Fisher modification as surgical approaches in repairing lip defect of unilateral cleft lip patients.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the DynaCleft® system on soft tissues of infants with unilateral incomplete cleft lip and to assess influences on quality of life for infants who underwent DynaCleft® and that of their families.
Congenital malformations of the orofacial area are the most common congenital malformations in children with an incidence of 1.8 children with orofacial cleft per 1000 healthy births in the Czech Republic. The care of children with cleft facial defects is multidisciplinary, centralized and takes place from birth to adulthood. At the University Hospital Brno, the treatment for patients with orofacial cleft is provided by the Cleft Center (CC) of the University Hospital Brno. The main specialties that form the basis of CC include plastic surgery, pediatric anesthesiology and neonatology. Patients with facial cleft defects are divided into 2 main groups based on the embryological causes of clefts: 1/ patients with cleft lip, jaw with or without cleft palate (total cleft) and 2/ patients with isolated cleft soft and hard palate. Anesthesia in children with orofacial clefts is specific not only to the age of the patients, but mainly to the cleft itself. Anesthesiology management, and especially intubation of these patients, are often difficult due to the nature of the defect with high incidence of complications such as difficult airway, desaturation, laryngospasm or bradycardia. In addition, tissue damage including soft tissue of the lip, alveolar arch, palate and nasal septum as well as skeleton of the premaxilla and nasal septum during intubation is seen in approximately 90% of patients. To facilitate intubation, improve anesthesiology management and safety of pediatric patients with orofacial cleft, investigators will develop an individualized protective tray from a silicone material, that will be used during intubation to cover the defect of the alveolar arch and palate. A mold for casting of a protective tray, will be created on a 3D printer on bases of 3D scan. Use of the protective tray would facilitate intubation, decrease anesthesiologic complications and protect soft and hard tissues of the cleft palate and upper jaw during intubation.
