Abstract

Background: The objective of this research is to determine risk factors for reintervention of Cleft Lips in children of evaluation and surgical sessions by the Happy Faces Foundation in the 2017-2020 time period. Materials and Methods: This research has a type of observational research, retrospective - cross-sectional and has a descriptive - explanatory approach. It has a research design that refers to a case study of pediatric patients diagnosed with primary cleft lip, who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study during the period from 2017 to 2021. Results: According to the results obtained, in relation to age, it was found that 72% corresponded to patients between the first month of life up to 11 months, 13% corresponded to the age of 1 to 4 years, 6% corresponded to the age of 5 at 8 years old, 2% at ages 9 to 12 years old. Regarding the ages of 17 to 24 years, they were taken into consideration because they were operated on when they were pediatric and in all cases they required reintervention due to aesthetic and functional dissatisfaction. The gender with the largest number of patients was the male gender and 35% female. It is known, according to the consulted literature, that most of the risk factors for suffering from cleft lip are concentrated in the male gender. Regarding complications, 78% had no complications, 18% had retraction and 3% had dehiscence. Conclusions: The reintervention of cleft lip presents different risk factors, taking into account the relationship to the characteristics of each patient, thus avoiding sequelae that harm both the aesthetics of the patient and can generate psychosocial damage, also emphasizing the abnormal functioning in terms of food and facial aesthetics.
