A case series of early postoperative complications due to trauma following primary cleft lip repair has been presented. Out of 193 primary cleft lip repair performed over the past 4 years, 5 patients had trauma related complications, 2 had complete wound dehiscence, 2 had partial dehiscence, and 1 presented with bleeding. This is the first report on complications following trauma after cleft lip repair. Such complications can be prevented with due vigilance during the early postoperative period. All children presented with wound dehiscence were managed with immediate suturing with good outcome. A protocol for the management of complications following trauma after cleft lip repair is being presented.
