In terms of cleft palate operation time, we should try to complete cleft palate repair before the age of 2. For patients with fissure stenosis, it is best to complete the cleft palate repair operation within one year after operation, without exposing or less exposing the hard palate bone surface. However, if the fracture is serious, a large area of bone surface may be left after operation, and the operation time can be postponed appropriately. For patients with cleft palate aged 5~ 10, the posterior pharyngeal wall enlargement of Huaxi is helpful to improve the velopharyngeal closure rate. For patients with cleft palate aged over 10, the velopharyngoplasty with Huaxi palatopharyngeal muscle flap can significantly improve the velopharyngeal closure rate of elderly patients, and children with cleft palate can be closely monitored, only when they have problems with eating, hearing or vocalization.
After the operation, in order to improve the pronunciation, the child should be trained in pronunciation under the guidance of a doctor in order to form a correct pronunciation. Children need to go to the orthodontics department for orthodontic treatment when they are teenagers.
After cleft palate surgery, it is advisable to let the sick child bend his knees, lie on his side, lie on his side or hold his head in a low position, so that blood or saliva can flow out of his mouth. The child's muscle strength is weak, and the tongue may fall backwards when sleeping, affecting breathing, and an oral airway can be placed; Give oxygen if necessary. After the child is awake, the endotracheal tube can be removed. After the child is fully awake for 4 hours, a small amount of sugar water can be fed and observed for half an hour. If you don't vomit, you can eat liquid food.
