  Introduction: The aim of this study is to analyze patients referred to frenotomy surgery during neonatal period and to review their correct indication, as nowadays there is no consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of ankyloglossia.
  Material and methods: A retrospective study of 136 patients with ankyloglossia referred to pediatric plastic surgery. Data collection was based on the consultation, breastfeeding problems and experiences before and after intervention.
  Results: The main reasons to attend consultation were related to breastfeeding technique (69 patients [65.7%]), and pain in between takes the more frequent symptom, nevertheless 33 patients (31.4%) had no symptoms. In most cases, referral to surgery was done by the pediatrician (85 patients [80%]). The most common type of ankyloglossia in the sample was type II. Only one case of recurrence was detected. Separation anxiety during frenotomy was the most frequent negative experience among mothers.
  Discussion: The lack of guidelines established for frenotomy and the relative ease of application of the technique in the neonatal age and the rise of breastfeeding campaigns, is leading to an excess of surgical indication as treatment of ankyloglossia. To create guidelines defining an appropriate criteria of treatment should be promoted, and to facilitate referrals to lactation consultation as a step prior to surgery.
