Sažetak
Surgical protocols for isolated cleft palate patients are quite diverse. Four out of nine centers from South Eastern region of Europe gave positive respond to the invitation for cooperation ; Ljubljana (Slovenia), Zagreb (Croatia), Beograd (Serbia) and Plovdiv (Bulgaria). The goal of the present multi-centric retrospective study was to evaluate the outcomes of primary treatment of cleft palate and to compare different surgical protocols between different centers. The analysis revealed no differences in the final outcomes of the primary surgical treatment in cleft palate patients between centers. The cooperation and exchange of collected data between centers are possible in spite of geographic distances. Some data were unavailable due to the fact that the study was retrospective. Prospective, multi-centric studies should be designed in the future.
