Recruitment will be directed at parents/guardians of patients to undergo cleft palate repair. Details of the study will be explained to parents pre-operatively. Currently the pediatric plastic surgeons at the Stollery Children's Hospital use tisseel in their repair techniques however the investigators do not have concrete data suggesting it has a clear benefit for this procedure. Two surgeons will be enrolling patients and performing surgeries independently with or without the assistance of residents and/or medical students. After informed consent by the primary decision maker, the patient will be randomized, via consealed envelop, to have tisseel used or have electrocautery used as a hemostatic mechanism. The parents/guardians will be blinded to the randomization. The operating room staff will know the results of the randomization and will need to prepare the Tisseel product. All other health care providers caring for the patient in the recovery period will be blinded to the randomization. Post-operative pain scores will be determined using the FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability) scoring system. This system is a validated objective pain scoring system used in young children post procedure. Patients will be assessed in the standard fashion. Pain scores and analgesic medications given will be recorded as per current nursing policy as well as on the study record which will be placed in the patient's chart. Parents will be shown how to assess FLACC scores and if patient is discharged prior to 72 hours, the parent or guardian will be asked to record the FLACC score at certain time points. The record of time to first feeding will be recorded on the study record form. Patients will be discharged from hospital when current criteria for safe discharge are met. Clinic follow up will be conducted in the current standard method at the surgeon's discretion. It will be noted on the patient's hospital chart that they were enrolled in this study in order to track long-term outcomes listed above.
