Abstract

The cleft lip and palate charity operation team visited Binh Duong General Hospital in Vietnam from 17th Dec to 25th Dec 2004. Total 25 cleft lip and palate patients (male : female = 15:10) were undergone the operation. The mean age of the patients was 13.6 year. The types of surgical operation were primary cheilorrhaphy (8 cases), primary palatorrhaphy(10 cases), pharyngoplasty(2 cases), scar revision(3 cases), alveolorrhaphy(2 cases). There were no intraoperative and immediate postoperative complications. The year 2004 was the 10th charity operation in the same area so it is meaningful to review the start of this charity mission and the course, and the future of our activity.
