Immediate Postoperative Evaluation of the Surgical Wound and Nutritional Evolution after Cheiloplasty

Abstract: Both kinds of nursing, spoon- and bottle-feeding, had the same influence on nutritional status and wound condition in both study groups. We suggest that bottle-feeding should be tried in patients in the postoperative period of cheiloplasty, because this method was used after surgery without causing any damage to the lip surgical wound.

“…It concluded that in both groups the outcomes were positive and similar, suggesting the use of bottle feeding for children in the postoperative period after cheiloplasty (17) . Considering the several options of utensils for child feeding after cheiloplasty and palatoplasty, it is important to highlight that different utensils than those routinely used, besides unnecessary, contribute to increase the stress of both the child and the caregiver (3) .…”

“…Risk of bias was at least “some concerns”; however, the overall level of evidence was highest in this group of manuscripts, with 3 randomized trials including one level I study. Studies differed if they compared cup feeds (Weatherley-White et al, 1987; Skinner et al, 1997), spoon feeds (Darzi et al, 1996; Assuncao et al, 2005; Augsornwan et al, 2013), or syringe feeds (Cohen et al, 1992; Augsornwan et al, 2013). Although outcome measures differed, no studies associated any negative outcomes with unrestricted feeding.…”

“…However, unrestricted feeding by bottle or breast has been proven to have no adverse effect on the wound after ordinary cleft surgeries and is now advocated immediately after surgery at many institutions (Cohen et al, 1992;Darzi et al, 1996;Skinner et al, 1997;Assunção et al, 2005). Who can say that sucking would be more harmful to the wound than direct feeding?…”
