目的探究阶段性延续护理对提高唇腭裂患儿健康结局的影响。方法 2017年2月至2018年2月,90例唇腭裂患儿按方便分组方式分成对照组和实验组(n=45),对照组给予常规护理,实验组给予阶段性延续护理。结果实验组术后并发症发生率及SDS、SAS评分均低于对照组(P<0.05),患儿家长伤口护理能力高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论阶段性延续护理有助于降低唇腭裂患儿术后并发症发生率,能有效提高患儿家长对患儿伤口的护理能力,值得推广应用。     

单纯腭裂患儿心脏畸形的发生率与腭裂程度的关系

目的 研究单纯腭裂患儿合并先天性心脏病的特点,探讨腭裂的程度与心脏畸形发生率的关系.方法 收集2008年8月至2009年12月收治的416例单纯腭裂患儿的临床资料,对所有患儿进行心脏超声检查;将患儿分为完全性腭裂和不完全性腭裂组,每组再分为单侧和双侧亚组,不完全腭裂组进一步分为悬雍垂裂、软腭裂、软腭及部分硬腭裂3个亚组,统计各组患儿合并心脏畸形的例数和类型,计数资料用百分构成比表示,采用SPSS 13.0版软件包进行统计学处理,组间比较采用x2检验.结果 416例中共检出46例先天性心脏病,占11.1%;不完全性腭裂组心脏畸形检出率为9.9%(38/384),完全性腭裂组检出率为25%(8/32),明显高于不完全性腭裂组(F=6.852,P<0.05);在合并的心脏畸形中,房间隔缺损占52.2%(24/46),是最常见的心脏畸形.结论 与不完全性腭裂相比,完全性腭裂具有较高的发生心脏畸形的风险,应常规进行心脏超声检查,腭裂程度可作为腭裂合并先天性心脏病的预测因子之一.     

The clinical observation of difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation in infants with cleft lip and palate

BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to evaluate the incidence of difficult laryngoscopy in infants with cleft lip and palate and to observe its relationships with age, sites, and degrees of deformities. METHODS: A total of 985 infants aged 1 month to 3 years, undergoing repair of cleft lip and palate were included in this study. The infants suffering from unilateral cleft lip, simple cleft palate, and combined bilateral cleft lip and palate were 465, 421, and 79 respectively. They were divided into three groups according to age; 1-6 months group, 6-12 months group and 1-3 years group. RESULTS: The total incidence of difficult laryngoscopy was 4.77%. The incidence of difficult laryngoscopy was closely related to age, sites and degrees of deformities, and micrognathia. The incidence of difficult laryngoscopy was 7.06% in 1-6 months group, 2.90% in 6-12 months group, and 3.13% in 1-3 years group, and was greatest for infants with combined bilateral cleft lip and palate, less for those with left cleft lip and least for those with right cleft lip and simple cleft palate. The incidences of difficult laryngoscopy in infants with and without micrognathia were 50% and 3.83% respectively. The incidences of moderately difficult, difficult, and failed intubations were 1.02%, 0.91%, and 0.102% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Infants with cleft lip and palate, left cleft lip and alveolus, combined bilateral cleft lip and palate, micrognathia, and age <6 months were the important risk factors for difficult laryngoscopy. Difficult intubation occurred mainly in infants with laryngoscopic views of grade III and IV.

TIBIA AS DONOR SITE FOR ALVEOLAR BONE GRAFTING IN PATIENTS WITH CLEFT LIP AND PALATE: LONG TERM EXPERIENCE

Tibial bone grafts were studied in 137 patients with clefts of the lip and palate. Twenty-one had clefts of the lip and primary palate and 116 had complete unilateral clefts of the lip and palate. Bone grafting was performed secondarily or late secondarily. Bone was harvested from the proximal part of the tibia distal to the tuberosity through an incision about 15 mm long. The mean follow-up time after bone grafting was 5.5 years (range 2-11). There were no operative, or early or late postoperative complications reported (such as haematoma, fracture, or shortening of the limb). Harvesting time was about 15 minutes. The possibility of operating with two teams makes the total operating time shorter. Bleeding was negligible (less than 15 ml) and the amount of bone obtained was always sufficient. Patients were mobilised the next day and were back to full physical activity by one month. Indications for tibial bone grafting included facilitation of tooth eruption into the graft, giving bony support to the neighbouring teeth, making it possible to insert a titanium fixture, raising the alar base of the nose, and closing an oronasal fistula. Compared with iliac, cranial, mandibular, and costal donor sites, using the tibia took less time, gave less bleeding, made it possible for two teams to operate simultaneously, gave a smaller scar, and there were minimal complications and satisfactory quantity and quality of bone in all cases. The results suggested that the tibia is an excellent choice of graft for residual alveolar clefts in patients with cleft lip and palate.     

Cephalometric pharyngeal changes after Le Fort I osteotomy in different types of clefts

Fifty patients with clefts (30 unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), 9 bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP), and 11 cleft palate only (CP), mean age 25 years) treated with Le Fort I osteotomy were compared retrospectively from cephalograms taken shortly before operation, and at six months and one year postoperatively. Patients with bimaxillary surgery or previous velopharyngoplasty, or both, were excluded. Maxillary advancement was moderate in all groups. One year postoperatively there was a significant change (73%–90% of the surgical advancement) in the sagittal depth of the nasopharyngeal airway but not in the depth of the oropharyngeal airway, the length of the soft palate or the position of the hyoid bone. The nasopharyngeal airway was largest in the CP group both preoperatively and postoperatively. Eleven patients (7 CP, 4 UCLP) had a velopharyngoplasty after the osteotomy to improve their speech. There was no difference in the nasopharyngeal airway in the patients treated by velopharyngoplasty compared with those not so treated, but they seemed to have the shortest maxillas and the greatest surgical changes vertically.     

Perceptual analysis of speech and the activity in the lateral pharyngeal walls before and after velopharyngeal flap surgery

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of velopharyngeal flap surgery on speech and its relation with the activity in the lateral pharyngeal wall. Videofluoroscopic recordings made before and after operation were used in this retrospective study, which comprised 28 patients who had pharyngeal flap surgery between 5:5 and 14:3 (mean 8:6) years:months of age at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg, Sweden. Twenty-four patients had different types of clefts and four had velopharyngeal impairment (VPI) without a cleft palate. Eleven had additional malformations. Speech and activity in the lateral pharyngeal walls were rated perceptually preoperatively and postoperatively. The study confirmed that patients with VPI can be helped by a velopharyngeal flap operation. There seemed to be a relation with the activity in the lateral pharyngeal wall and speech. The later the postoperative assessment, the better the speech, but the age at operation did not affect the result. The impact of additional anomalies and syndromes should be investigated further.     

Correlations between initial cleft size and dental anomalies in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients after alveolar bone grafting

Objective To determine in individuals with unilateral cleft lip and palate the correlation between initial cleft size and dental anomalies, and the outcome of alveolar bone grafting.

Methods A total of 67 consecutive patients with non-syndromic unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) were included from the cleft lip and palate-craniofacial center, Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. All patients were operated by the same surgeon and treated according to the Uppsala protocol entailing: lip plasty at 3 months, soft palate closure at 6 months, closure of the residual cleft in the hard palate at 2 years of age, and secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) prior to the eruption of the permanent canine. Cleft size was measured on dental casts obtained at the time of primary lip plasty. Dental anomalies were registered on radiographs and dental casts obtained before bone grafting. Alveolar bone height was evaluated with the Modified Bergland Index (mBI) at 1 and 10-year follow-up.

Results Anterior cleft width correlated positively with enamel hypoplasia and rotation of the central incisor adjacent to the cleft. There was, however, no correlation between initial cleft width and alveolar bone height at either 1 or 10 years follow-up.

Conclusions Wider clefts did not seem to have an impact on the success of secondary alveolar bone grafting but appeared to be associated with a higher degree of some dental anomalies. This finding may have implications for patient counseling and treatment planning.
