cleft lip and palate surgery
in infants.
ARC 2018
CLEFT LIP - PALATE
 Second most common congenital deformity
 Associated with more than 300 syndromes
 Unilateral cleft 1 in 500-1000 live births-
highest amongst Asians & Native Americans
 Bilateral clefts in 1 in 5000-6500 live births
 Cleft lip-palate more common in males
 Isolated cleft palate more in females with
associated cardiac anomalies in 30 %
 Cleft lip and palate (45%), Cleft palate (35%)
and cleft lip (20%)
ETIOLOGY OF CLEFT LIP-PALATE
Multifactorial
 Genetic factors, fathers age > 40 years
 Environmental factors in 1st trimester
 Rubella infection, Diabetes Mellitus
 Teratogens: steroids, anticonvulsants, alcohol,
smoking
Embryologically, interruption of mesenchymal
migration and fusion of the primitive somite-
derived facial elements at 4-7 weeks
CLASSIFICATION
ARC 2018
AIMS FOR SURGICAL
RECONSTRUCTION
 Correction of deformity

ARC 2018
ANAESTHESIA FOR CLEFT Sx
THE BIG LITTLE PROBLEM
ISSUES IN A CLEFT PALATE CHILD
 Associated defects and cardiac anomalies
 Chronic airway obstruction/sleep apnoea
 Right ventricular hypertrophy and cor pulmonale
due to chronic hypoxia
 Anticipated difficult intubation
 Malnutrition, anaemia, dehydration, may require
grouping cross matching of blood
 Psychological aspect: depression due to
disfigurement and difficulties in speech
ARC 2018
PREOPERATIVE EVALUATION
 Thorough medical history and examination to
uncover associated anomalies, difficult airway
 Acute infection related to chronic ENT problems
 Investigations: Hb for the isolated cleft lip
CBC, coagulation profile, X-ray chest, ECG, 2D
ECHO depending on associated anomalies
 NBM instructions
 Premedication:
賊 antisialogouge, anticholinergic drug
sedation in patients  9 mths of age without airway
compromise
DIFFICULT LARYNGOSCOPY
CL grade III & IV (7.4%)
Bilateral clefts (45.7%)
Unilateral cleft
Age < 6 months (3%)
Retrognathia (34.6%)
Pierre Robin syndrome
50 % have cleft palate
Treacher Collins syndrome
30 % have cleft palate
Goldenhar syndrome
ARC 2018
PREFORMED ET TUBE
Oxford tube
RAE
Tube
Tube is placed in midline with the upper lip immobile and not distorted.
PERIOPERATIVE MONITORING
 Observation: Colour, capillary refill, blood loss,
airway pressures, postoperatively rate and depth of
respiration
 Precordial stethoscope: Heart & breath sounds
 ECG: Cardiac arrhythmia
 Pulse oximetry and capnometry
 NIBP: Intravascular volume & cardiac output
 Temperature
 Peripheral nerve stimulator
ARC 2018
INDUCTION OF ANAESTHESIA
 Difficult mask ventilation in clefts with associated
craniofacial anomalies and retrognathia  oro-
pharyngeal airway + CPAP
 If anticipated difficult laryngoscopy (Cormack and
Lehane grade III & IV)
 spontaneous inhalation induction with airway assessment
 Intubation through LMA, assisted by fiberoptic scope
 muscle relaxant and ET intubation (video laryngoscope)
 Care of left sided cleft & extensive cleft
 Oral RAE tube / Oxford tube  midline placement OR
Armour reinforced ETT / flexometallic ETT
 Care of eyes, padding, positioning of patient, circuit
ANAESTHESIA MAINTENANCE
Airway is shared with the surgeon hence adequacy
must be assessed especially after
1. Patient positioning - exaggerated extension of the
neck  accidental extubation
2. Placement of Dingman mouth gag- used for
surgical exposure and ETT stabilization
3. Placement of pharyngeal pack to prevent
aspiration of blood
All these may cause compression / kinking of the tube
ARC 2018
DINGMAN MOUTH GAG
ARC 2018
MAINTENANCE OF
ANAESTHESIA (contd.)
 Gas, oxygen, suitable inhalational agent, short
acting opioid, muscle relaxant and artificial
ventilation
 Surgical incision infiltrated using saline / LA with
adrenaline (< 10 亮gm / kg)
 Planning for post-operative pain relief
 Fluid and temperature maintenance
ARC 2018
PERIOPERATIVE PAIN RELIEF
Pharmocological:
Combination of short acting opioids, Paracetamol
& NSAIDs (NSAIDs not preferred in infants < 6
months and first 12 hours postoperatively)
Regional blocks:
Cleft Lip  Bilateral Infraorbital Block (IOB) / Peri-
incisional infiltration
Cleft Palate  Bilateral Greater palatine nerve
block
ARC 2018
INFRA-ORBITAL NERVE BLOCK
A- Transcutaneous
approach
B- Transoral approach
INFRA-ORBITAL NERVE BLOCK
Area of sensory
blockade
Infraorbital Nerve
Site of injection
1ml 0.25%/0.5%

Nerve is blocked on either side as it exits from the foramen with 1 ml of 0.25%
bupivacaine with 1:200,000 adrenaline, submucous injection using 27G needle
ARC 2018
POST-OPERATIVE
MANAGEMENT
 Check for pharyngeal pack, bleeding & secretions
before reversal, extubation
 Avoid putting in a laryngoscope
 Extubation in fully awake child
 In PACU, child in lateral position to facilitate
drainage of blood and secretions
 Straight sleeves or boxers bandage to restrain
the hands from touching the surgical site
ARC 2018
POST-OPERATIVE
COMPLICATIONS
Early complications (26%): More common after
palate surgery, child to be observed in PICU/HDU
 Airway obstruction: Because of constricting flaps,
nasopharyngeal oedema and prolonged surgery
(> 2-3 hrs)  massive macroglossia
Management: nasopharyngeal airway / tongue stitch
for 48 hours / postoperative intubation
 Bleeding: may require re-exploration and blood
transfusion if excessive
ARC 2018
AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION POST
PALATE REPAIR
Treatment:
 Nasopharyngeal airway
 Tongue stitch
ARC 2018
SECONDARY SURGERY
To revise residual defects:
 Velopharyngeal incompetence
 Palatal dehiscence / Oronasal fistula
 Dental malocclusion
 Residual cosmetic deformity eg. Cleft
rhinoplasty
ARC 2018
VELOPHARYNGEAL
INCOMPETENCE
Diagnostic features: Hypernasality, misarticulation
and nasal regurgitation
Confirmation with video nasoendoscopy
Treatment: Pharyngeal flap
Anaesthetic importance: In operated patients
 Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) - 70-80 %
 Blind nasotracheal intubation & nasogastric tube
insertions are contraindicated during subsequent
surgeries
ARC 2018
SUMMARY
1. Considering cleft lip and palate
a) It is the commonest congenital abnormality
b) Cleft palate cannot occur without cleft lip
c) It is more common in males
d) Cleft lip is more often found on the left side
e) Associated abnormalities are very rare
FFTTF
ARC 2018
2. Preoperative assessment of the child with cleft lip
and palate
a) The presence of rhinorrhoea means surgery
should be cancelled
b) Bilateral cleft lip predicts difficult laryngoscopy
c) Bilateral cleft lip-palate predicts an increased risk
of postoperative respiratory complications
d) A history of apnoea during feeds may indicate
chronic airway obstruction
e) Sedative premedication is useful and promotes
smooth induction in bilateral cleft lip-palate
FTTTF
ARC 2018
3. When inducing anaesthesia in a child with
isolated cleft lip and palate
a) Intravenous induction is mandatory
b) The use of neuromuscular blocking drugs is
contraindicated
c) Difficulty with mask ventilation is common
d) Difficult laryngoscopy occurs in the majority of
patients
e) Deferring surgery until the child is older may
make airway management easier
FFFFT
ARC 2018
4. Considering primary surgical repair of cleft lip and
palate
a) Cleft lip may be repaired in the neonatal period
b) Cleft palate repair should be delayed until the
child has learned to speak
c) Infiltration of local anaesthetic is contraindicated
as it distorts the surgical field
d) Blood transfusion is uncommon
e) It is rare for patients to require any further
surgery after primary repair
TFFFF
ARC 2018
5. Anaesthesia for cleft lip and palate surgery
a) Problems with the tube are rare once the mouth
gag has been inserted
b) Spontaneous ventilation techniques are not
suitable for neonates and infants
c) Standard drawover systems are suitable for all
patients
d) Opioids are contraindicated as they may cause
postoperative airway obstruction
e) Infraorbital nerve blocks can provide adequate
postoperative analgesia for isolated cleft lip repair
FTFFT
6. Airway obstruction after cleft lip and palate repair
a) Is most likely to occur in children with pre-
operative airway problems
b) May be due to inadequate mouth breathing
c) May be treated with insertion of a
nasopharyngeal airway
d) Oropharyngeal airways should be avoided
e) Will always require re-intubation
