Insights
Cleft lip and palate treatment at Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital utilizes a multidisciplinary team approach. Treatment timing, both primary and secondary, is adapted based on antenatal diagnosis and patient age.
Area of Science:
- Medicine
- Pediatric Surgery
- Craniofacial Surgery
Background:
- Cleft lip and palate (CLP) treatment requires specialized, coordinated care.
- Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital employs a multidisciplinary team for CLP management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline the treatment protocols for cleft lip and palate at Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital.
- To describe the adaptable treatment calendar based on antenatal diagnosis.
Main Methods:
- Multidisciplinary team approach for CLP treatment.
- Adaptation of primary treatment timing based on antenatal diagnosis (early/two sessions or late/one session).
- Standardized calendar for secondary treatment.
Main Results:
- Primary treatment can be initiated early or delayed to 4 months, with session numbers adjusted accordingly.
- Secondary treatment follows a more conventional schedule.
- The multidisciplinary team ensures comprehensive care.
Conclusions:
- Treatment protocols for cleft lip and palate are tailored to individual patient needs, particularly regarding antenatal diagnosis.
- The hospital's approach emphasizes flexibility in primary treatment scheduling.
- A multidisciplinary team is central to effective cleft lip and palate management.
Abstract:
The treatment of cleft lip and palate at Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital is realized by a multidisciplinary team. The calendar of the primary treatment is adapted according to the eventual antenatal diagnosis: it may be early and in two sessions, or late at 4 months but in one session. The calendar of the secondary treatment is more classical.
