Presurgical orthopedic plates, nasal conformers, and the specific lip repair technique were not significantly associated with the need for lip or nasal revision surgery, although the wide confidence intervals indicate considerable uncertainty in these estimates. Similarly, the type of palatal repair and use of intravelar veloplasty were not significantly associated with fistula formation or the need for secondary velopharyngeal or fistula repair procedures. Across centres, wide variation existed in techniques used, but no one approach showed superiority in reducing secondary surgery needs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite the observed variability in surgical weak associations were found between specific surgical techniques or surgeon-related factors and the need for secondary surgical interventions.
