A STUDY ON OROFACIAL CLEFT IN NEW BORNS AND IN THE PEDIATRIC AGE GROUP AND THE COMMON SURGICAL PROCEDURES FOLLOWED

Dr Satishchandra B. K

Abstract


This study is on Orofacial cleft in the paediatric age group including new born. It is commonly called as HARE LIP. The objective of present study is to know the various percentages of incidences orofacial cleft in the babies that came across in the Department of Surgery, Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences.

 

Place of study:

This study was done in the paediatric wards especially  in neonatal wards Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore.

 

Period of the Study: This study was done between 2016-2018

 

Materials and Methods:A detailed study was done on  orofacial cleft [Hare lip]in the different age groups in Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore.

 

Conclusion:

This study was well compared and correlated earlier workers and they were great importance to know the incidences in each sex, it is more prevalent. Hence it has been studied.

 


Keywords


Cleft lip-cleft palate, Unilateral-bilateral-hard, Palate-medial nasal process.
