Summary

Nonrandomized pilot trial of an intensive feedback intervention incorporating peer surgical coaching to decrease fistula incidence with cleft palate repair. Of the 7 plastic surgeons enrolled in the program, 2 received intensive feedback (which included reviewing video with a peer coach), 3 received simple feedback of their fistula rates, and 2 did not receive any feedback. Feasibility was assessed.
