2024Open accessAddis Ababa University

Abstract

There is a high rate of VPI and oronasal fistula in this cohort of patients who underwent palatoplasty at Yekatit 12 Hospital. One of the factors for higher complication rate was older age at time of surgery. Therefore, patient education and strengthening the cleft care with training are paramount to ensure better results.
