Without concrete evidence, one must question the whether the increased cost, time and potential patient risk (human derived tissue) to patients justifies its use in primary cleft palate repair.', 'detailedDescription': "There has been a change in the standard practice at the Montreal Children's Hospital where the senior author has shifted from selected application of ADM in certain cases to routine use of ADM in all cleft palate cases. This study is an observational study comparing a prospective cohort group receiving ADM routinely to a retrospective historical cohort group without routine use of ADM.\n\nObjectives of the study:\n\nPrimary objectives:\n\nThe primary objective of this study is to determine whether routine use of ADM would lower the incidence of palatal fistula in patients undergoing primary cleft palate repair.\n\nSecondary objectives:\n\n1. Incidence of wound dehiscence\n2. Incidence of wound infection\n3.
