Abstract

Social factors and gender of patients with cleft lip and palate have a major impact in the medical and surgical care yet this impact is not fully reviewed. The aim of the present study was to investigate if there is any difference between males and females in the primary surgical treatment of cleft lip and palate patients and the delayed presentation of cases with cleft lip and palate.
This is a retrospective study of 343 patients with total number of 720 primary surgical procedures, Each procedure categorized into primary lip and primary palate repair. Then the age of first surgical procedure is then analyzed and compared according to gender of patients. The result of our study show that there is no statistically significant differences in the number of primary surgeries or the age of first operation but the mean of the age of first operation is higher than our protocol for primary repair. This study give an alert about the care given to cleft patients with delayed primary repair of cleft patients.
