Cleft Lip Surgery Complications

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

A complication is considered as an unexpected event that occurs in the course of a surgical act different from the usual manifestations of this and that is a consequence of the effects caused by it. A number of perioperative events cannot be totally prevented by the surgeon, and only an adequate follow-up of the operated patients may guarantee their diagnostic and proper management. Common complications observed in association with cleft lip surgery are wound infection, dehiscence and bleeding, hypertrophic scars, and others. This chapter presents the most common complications associated with the cleft lip surgery and their diagnostic and interdisciplinary management. Early diagnostic and intervention is the key point for the successful handling of these problems.
