| description | INTRODUCTION: Orofacial clefts are congenital malformations with an estimated occurrence of 1:650 births in Brazil. The most widely adopted classification system in that country is the method developed by Spina, and cheiloplasty and palatoplasty are the main surgeries performed.
METHODS: This was a retrospective descriptive study using data collected from the Smile Train Express organization regarding patients with orofacial clefts treated by a reference surgical team between March 1, 2014 and December 1, 2016.
RESULTS: A total of 477 patients were identified, predominantly male and in the first two years of life at admission. The most prevalent type of malformation was left unilateral transforamen cleft. The most frequent surgical treatment was cheiloplasty.
CONCLUSIONS: The epidemiological pattern is consistent with the findings described in the national literature. |
