Surgery is an important treatment, but postoperative scars will still cause psychological shadows to patients.
This study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy of Botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) in preventing and treating postoperative CL/P scars and improving scar quality.
A systematic review was performed by searching PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for relevant trials. All relevant trials were performed before June 30, 2021.
The data were entered into Revman 5.3 software, and a meta-analysis was conducted by using the random-effects model or fixed-effects model.
