Abstract:
Although patients with cleft lip and palate often present with poor maxillary growth because of intrinsic and iatrogenic factors, the surgical influence of lip revision surgery, palatal fistula repair, and pharyngeal flap procedures remains uncertain in contrast to that of primary cleft lip repair and palatoplasty. Therefore, this study aimed to reveal factors inhibiting maxillary growth and inducing later orthognathic surgery. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of patients with cleft lip and palate who underwent a series of treatments at Keio University Hospital from 1990 to 2000. We collected data on patient sex, cleft type, number and timing of lip revision surgery, the incidence of palatal fistulae, history of pharyngeal flap procedures, and timing of a repeat bone graft, and reviewed whether these patients underwent orthognathic surgery later in life. Multivariate analysis was conducted using binary logistic regression to extract factors affecting later orthognathic surgery. A total of 52 patients were included in this study. Results showed that revision surgery conducted more than twice was the highest statistically significant predictor of later orthognathic surgery in patients with a cleft lip and palate ( P 〈 0.05, odds ratio=43.3), followed by palatal fistula occurrence after cleft palate repair ( P 〈 0.05, odds ratio=22.3). Therefore, primary surgical procedure is most important for these patients.
