What is the success rate of cleft palate surgery

To evaluate the success of cleft palate surgery, two main aspects are considered: 1) whether the child obtains the normal anatomical form of the palate through cleft palate surgery without accidents such as palatal leakage and reocclusion; 2) whether the child obtains normal physiological functions such as speech and swallowing. Both combined according to a comprehensive analysis of domestic and international literature, the success rate of cleft palate surgery is around 90%. If you want your child to have a successful first-stage surgery, you need to work together with both medical care and parents to achieve it. If the post-operative care is not done properly, complications may occur. After the surgery, the patient should take care of the child to avoid trauma, falls and finger stabbing the palate incision. We hope that the parents will intervene in the early stage of the child’s speech training, such as encouraging the child to speak early and start practicing blowing and sucking early to exercise the palate muscles so as to lay a good foundation for good speech and other physiological functions in the future.
