Patients with cleft lip have cleft lip, unilateral or bilateral, often located directly below one nostril, with different sizes, reaching up to the nostril, often accompanied by alar collapse.

Cleft lip and palate are unsightly, which can also cause sucking dysfunction, abnormal and prominent front teeth development, and cracked front teeth. It affects breastfeeding, and it is also easy for sick children to inhale the respiratory tract by mistake during breastfeeding, causing bronchitis and pneumonia. Due to the inability to breastfeed normally, sick children will suffer from malnutrition and various nutritional disorders for a long time. In severe cases, it is even life-threatening. Lip is one of the vocal organs, and children with cleft lip can't pronounce clearly when they speak, which affects their pronunciation.

Sequelae of rabbit lip repair operation

Bleeding, airway obstruction, infection, wound dehiscence and fistula formation are common symptoms after cleft lip and palate repair. Although obvious bleeding rarely occurs, it is often necessary to re-enter the operating room to explore and stop bleeding. Respiratory obstruction is rare without massive bleeding, but once it happens, it can be fatal. The respiratory tract should be closely monitored in the resuscitation room, and the sick child can be transferred to the ward only after the condition is stable. If the respiratory tract is narrow, oxygen saturation should be monitored in the ward or ICU ward.
