Abstract

The aim of this study was to present a measuring tool, in the form of a dual-rating grid, for preoperative appearance and postoperative results in the treatment of labionasal clefts. This study was carried out on 43 children with partial unilateral clefts, operated on using a derivation of Millard's technique. The preoperative initial severity score (ISS) was the sum of points each corresponding to a precise anatomic anomaly. A severe cleft was given a rating of 6, and a mild cleft a rating of 1. The postoperative results score (PRS) was the sum of points corresponding to residual or acquired anatomic anomalies: a good result was given 0.5, and a poor result 3.5. Each score was a mark given separately and agreed on by two surgeons. To compare the rating grids, the correlation between the ISS and the PRS was calculated. Twenty-four patients had an ISS less than 5; 19 patients had an IGS more than or equal to 5. Marks for the PRS were between 0.5 and 3.5 with the majority at 1 to 1.5. This study demonstrates the coherent connection between these two pre- and postoperative rating grids.
