| description | BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a negative impact in every sector of life, especially in the health sector. Patients with different medical conditions are suffering delays in their surgical treatments. Cleft lip and palate is a common congenital disease that requires early interdisciplinary attention, and there is uncertainty about the safety of performing its surgical treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of a surgical cleft protocol for cleft lip and palate used during the COVID-19 pandemic at a high volume cleft center in Lima, Peru. METHODS: This is a comparative study between two groups of patients with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate who were operated on before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection was done by evaluation of presurgical condition, and surgical and nonsurgical postoperative outcomes and complications. RESULTS: Significant differences were observed regarding both the age of the patients at the time of the primary surgeries, and surgical times between the two groups. Nonstatistical significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding the presurgical conditions, postoperative outcomes, and complications. Rate of COVID-19 infection was 1.25%. CONCLUSIONS: The surgical protocol used for cleft lip and palate repair during the COVID-19 pandemic is a safe method based on the observed postoperative outcomes. However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused delays of the time of the primary cleft lip and palate repair, and its long-term impact should be well evaluated. |
