Quality Assurance Standards for Outreach Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate Repair Programs in Low-Resource Settings

The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal / SAGE Publications

This multicenter study analyzed outcomes following cleft lip and palate repair across diverse clinical settings, focusing on functional results, complication rates, and factors influencing surgical success. By pooling data from several institutions, the authors identified trends in operative techniques and perioperative care associated with improved speech, feeding, and aesthetic outcomes, while also highlighting areas where standardized protocols may further enhance patient recovery. The findings support evidence-based refinement of cleft care and underscore the value of collaborative research in optimizing surgical quality.
