OBJECTIVE: This study describes primary surgical reconstructions performed for children born with a cleft lip and/or palate (CL ± P) in the United Kingdom (UK).
DESIGN: Data forms completed at the time of surgery included details on timing, technique, and adjuncts used during the operative period. Demographic data on participants were validated via parental questionnaires.
SETTING: Data were obtained from the Cleft Collective, a national longitudinal cohort study.
PATIENTS: Between 2015 and 2021, 1782 Cleft Collective surgical forms were included, relating to the primary reconstructions of 1514 individual children.
RESULTS: The median age at primary cheiloplasty was 4.3 months. Unilateral cleft lips (UCL) were reconstructed with an anatomical subunit approximation technique in 53%, whereas bilateral cleft lips (BCL) were reconstructed with a broader range of eponymous techniques. Clefts of the soft palate were reconstructed at a median age of 10.3 months with an intravelar veloplasty in 94% cases. Clefts of the hard palate were reconstructed with a vomer flap in 84% cases in a bimodal age distribution, relating to reconstruction carried out simultaneously with either lip or soft palate reconstruction. Antibiotics were used in 96% of cases, with an at-induction-only regimen used more commonly for cheiloplasties (P < .001) and a 5 to 7-day postoperative regime used more commonly for soft palatoplasties (P < .001). Perioperative steroids were used more commonly in palatoplasties than cheiloplasties (P < .001) but tranexamic acid use was equivalent (P = .73).
CONCLUSIONS: This study contributes to our understanding of current cleft surgical pathways in the UK and will provide a baseline for analysis of the effectiveness of utilized protocols.
