VACCA-DEVIA, Libardo et al. CHARACTERIZATION OF CHILDREN WHO HAD SURGERY OF CLEFT LIP AND PALATE IN THE COLOMBIAN ORINOQUIA BETWEEN 2008 AND 2014. Investig. andina [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.34, pp.1795-1812. Epub 01-Abr-2017. ISSN 0124-8146.
Cleft lip and palate is the most frequent congenital pathology but it has not been characterized in the Colombian Orinoquia. The aim was to describe the characteristics of children that had surgery in a program for cleft lip and palate in Villavicencio.
Design:
cross-sectional descriptive trial. Children under 18 years old that had cleft lip and palate surgery at Hospital Departamental de Villavicencio from January 2008 to June 2014 were included. Distribution evaluation of the variables was performed, as well as a map with the housing location of patients
Results:
Three hundreds and forty records of cleft lip and palate surgeries were reviewed, mainly male children. Most of the cases were from Villavicencio, but also from other towns and states around. Fortynine percent were primary surgeries and female children had interventions earlier.
Conclusions:
the study established the considerable number of patients surgically operated, most of them in an early way, especially when they were close to Villavicencio and Meta, but opportunity can be improved to early months of life.
