“…The development of a fistula is one of the well-known complications that might develop after a surgical repair [3].

“…The incidence of fistula reported in a systematic review in cleft lip and palate cases was higher (17.9%) than cases of cleft palate alone (5.4%) with an over-all incidence of 8.6%. The development of fistula might occur due to a number of factors such as age at operation, type and extent of clefting in addition to the surgical technique used [3] [4]. This research aims at studying the various factors that are associated with development of cleft palate.…”

One of the known complications of cleft palate surgery is development of fistula. This study highlights our experience with cleft palate surgery in relation to fistula occurrence at our center. This is one of the first studies of this kind in Oman. We retrospectively reviewed 362 records of cleft palate patients. The most common technique used for cleft palate repair at our center was VeauWardill-Kilner technique. In our series we have noticed palatal fistulae in 32% of cases. This high rate is partially due to inclusion of very anterior fistulas in patients with complete cleft lips and palates, which actually represent part of the alveolar cleft rather than breakdown of the palatal repair. This will be closed during time of alveolar bone grafting at a later stage. We recommend a future prospective controlled study to study the factors that lower the incidence of fistula in our population.
