Postoperative outcome, including the incidence of oronasal fistula (ONF) and pharyngoplasty, were studied. Results A total of 230 children were included in this study. There were 120 boys and 110 girls. Ninety-five children had cleft palate associated with cleft lip; 135 children had cleft palate only. Twenty-eight children were syndromic. The mean age at operation was 19 ± 20 months (range: 10–150 months). A total of 112 children underwent von Langenbeck repair, and 118 children underwent Furlow repair.
