Annual case load

Cleft palate:10
Pierre Robin:1 - 2
Cleft lip & palate (CLP) Unilateral (UCLP):25
Bilateral (BCLP):14
Cleft lip (CL) Unilateral (UCL):5
Bilateral (BCL):1,4
Number of syndromic cases:with Anophtalmos, Apert sy, with Heart Congenital Defects

Primary surgical protocol

Timing of first repair and type of operation.

Complete UCLP:2 flap palatoplasty s. Bardach - at age from 6 - to l2 month
Complete BCLP:One Stage primary Bilateral Cleft Lip Nose repair s. Black´s technique or Salyer ´s technique at age 3 month ,two stage bilateral Cleft Lip Nose repair is rare Primary bilateral cleft nose reconstruction : Stage 2 - is performed 1 year after the first operation Two - flap palatoplasty - Bardach´s technique at age from 6 – 18 month timing is dependent on actual health conditions of child, if the premaxilla is displaced anteriorly - the anterior one third of hard palate is reconstructed later, after the premaxillary repositioning in the course of growths after 4 - 5 years
Isolated CP:Two flap palatoplasty s Bardach, 2 laterally placed mucoperiosteal flaps and one anterior triangular shaped flap, in cases of very wide cleft and short soft palate we use Furlow's Technique in combination with uvular pad from Salyer's modification of Two - Flap Palatoplasty

Record collection protocol

Are records routinely collected at specific ages?Yes
Does this conform to WHO timing recommendations
(birth, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years)?
Yes
What record taking protocol is used:We perform examination and follow up of patients each year, and we use
Eurocleft Project 1996-2000 Eurocleft Consensus Recommendations Timing of minimum records adapted to our conditions

State coverage of costs

Are the costs of the following treatments covered by the state (free to the patient)?

Surgery costs:All
Orthodontic costs:All
Speech and language therapy costs:All
Comments on the service provision:If patients choose other orthodontist who has office more closely to the home adress, maybe they cover part of orthodontics treatment costs
