| Abstract | results: 177 patients (84 male and 93 female) were identified. Median age at repair was 10 months with median follow-up time of 3.8 years (inter-quartile range 2.56-5.39 years). All four Veau types and a variety of cleft widths were represented. Palatal fistula was observed in 8 patients (4.5%), but required surgical repair in only 2 (1.1%). Fistula was associated with Veau IV classification (odds ratio 8.35, p=0.012) but not with cleft width. VPI needing surgical intervention occurred in 7 patients (4%) and was associated with increasing cleft width (odds ratio 1.39, p=0.01). |
