9.수술을 2세이하의 최적기에 받은 환자는 86.6 % 이상의 우수한 언어 명료도의 호전을 보였고 3세이하에서 수술받은 환자도 100 % 양호한 결과를 얻었으며 늦게 수술하면 할수록 언어의 호전도가 빈약함을 관찰할 수 있다.

Cleft palate, with cleft lip, is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the head and neck in a man. And patients with cleft palate must face a diversity of difficulties from birth onward, which were parental emotional reaction, mechanical
difficulties in feedings, airway obstruction, chronic otitis media, hearing impairment, and cosmetic, speech problems.
The etiologic factor of this anomalies have been experimatally and statistically studied by many scholars. But, unfortunnately, little is known regarding the etiology and embryology of this malformation, and there is even disagreement as to their frequency of occurrance and their relatioship to such elements as heredity and environmental factors.
So the author retrospectively reviewed 362 patients with cleft palate who were admitted and treated at Yonsei-Medical center during the past 8 years period from Jan. 1970 to Dec. 1977 in order to evaluate the incidence of cleft palate, sex ratio, etiologic factors, post operative hospitalization, relationship of transfusion and Hb. Hct. Changes, time of operation, and speech evaluation after operation.
The following results were obtained ;
1. 27 babies of cleft lip and/or palate were born among 15749 deliveries, and so cleft birth rate was 1:585.
2. The cleft lip birth rate was 1:1449, cleft palate birth rate was 1:3125 and cleft lip with palate birth rate was 1:1449 as same as cleft lip.
3. Females were affected 1.5 times more than males in cleft palate alone, but in cleft palate and cleft lip, male was affected 4 times more than female
4. Incidence was as follow in the order of frequency, complete cleft palate with cleft lip, incomplete cleft palate, submucous cleft palate, and complete cleft palate alone.
5. Left side of lip was affected 1.6 times more than right side in complete cleft palate with cleft lip. And bilateral cleft palate was 26 cases(7.2%).
6. Cleft palate birth rate by incidence of month of birth, parity, and parental age was not statistically able to evaluate. And the distribution was insignificant in etiology of cleft palate.
7. In the incidence of prenatal history of cleft palate patients was only 19 cases and 5.2% of total numbers. Among the 19 cases, 11 cases were observed in complete cleft palate with cleft lip.
9. In blood type of cleft palate patients, A type was 37% O type was 32% B type was 25%, and 뮤 type was 6%.
10. Number of total associated anomalies of cleft palate. was 12 cases(3.3%). :
Pierre-Robin syndrome(4 cases), congenital Heart disease(3 cases), Tongue-tie(2 cases), Ear deformity(2 cases) and club foot(1 case).
11. In complete and submucous cleft palate, Palatolasty with 2 flap was applied.
and especially in bilateral type, palatoplasty with 4 flap was applied. And rarely,
on other department, Von-Langen-beck palatoplasty was done.
12. 10 cases among 362 cases of cleft palate was operated at the age of proper time which was between 1yr. and 2yr. And 60 cases was operated at the age of over 10yr.
13. The patients who were operated at adequateime of operation, was revealed excellent post-operative speech evaluation, but poor post-operative result was obtained at aged patients.
l4. The total number of transfused group during operation was 87 cases(4.3%), and the mean amount of transfused blood web about 8.6ml/kg. And change of Hb. and Hct. was statistically insignificant in pre-operative data and postoperative data.
15. The average period of hospitalization was from 6 days to 15 days and the percentage was revealed to 96.4%. Within 5 days of period was noted in 4.9% of total cases.
16. Mortality was none and complications were 30 cases(8.3%); These were upper respiratory infection. Oronasal fistula, preumonia, bleeding and gastro-intestinal diseases.
