Abstract. The study sample consisted of 76 cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. Age, gender, region of residency,
information related to the different types of CLP surgical repairs were investigated. The results showed that
patients' age range was 5-37, with an average of 16.2 ± 5.3 years. Males 61.8% were more than female 38.2%
(P=0.007). The majority 84.2% of patients were from the central region (P=0.000). The majority of lip repairs
74.4%, and palatal repairs 61.5% were performed within the professional recommended age of 3-6 months and 1-2
years respectively (P=0.000). The timing of alveolar bone graft showed a wide age variability. The majority 75.0%
of lip repairs was done once (P-0.000), 18.4% were done twice, and 1.3% were done three times. The majority
67.1% of palatal repairs were done at least twice. 43.3% were done once, 23.7% were done twice, 7.9% were done
three times and 2.6% were done four times. The majority (81.5%) of bone graft surgeries were done once
(P=0.000). Satisfaction of the surgical results with no need for further revisions were 65.8% for lip, 70.9% for
palatal and 86.8% for bone graft surgeries.
