Background: Palate repair surgeries are being performed in Bangladesh as well as in whole world by different techniques. The study was done to compare early complications of Von Langenbeck and Bardach Palatoplasty techniques. Methods and materials: This prospective observational study was conducted with the Patients admitted with cleft palate with or without cleft lip into Department of Plastic Surgery, DMCH. A total of 60 patients were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thirty patients were included in Group I who were underwent Von Langenbeck palatoplasty. Another Thirty patients were included in Group II and they underwent Bardach palatoplasty. P value was significant at <0.05. Results: Majority of respondents belonged to age group 7-12 months and 13-18 months. The mean age was 13.1±4.51 (SD) in Group I and 12.6±4.58 (SD) Group II with female dominance. No statistical significance was noted in age, sex, and other demographic features between two groups. Postoperative hemorrhage (16.7% vs 20%), wound infection (16.7% vs 10%) and wound dehiscence (10% vs 6.7%) was statistically insignificant between two groups (p>0.05). Only 10% in Group I and 6.7% in Group II experienced post-operative fistula formation without statistical significance (p>0.05). No statistical significance was noted between two Groups according to age range. Conclusion: This study found no difference between Von Langenbeck and Bardach technique of palatoplasty in relation to early complication. However further long follow up study is recommended to validate these findings. Journal of Surgical Sciences (2021) Vol. 25 (1) : 30-35
