| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Cleft lip/palate is a common congenital anomaly, with 1 in 700 newborns afflicted. Most surgery textbooks teach standard techniques for cleft lip/palate repair. However, there is much deeper science and art behind eradicating the stigma of the cleft. The cleft nose, vermillion, maxilla, and voice are giveaways of a good-but-not-great surgery. Similarly, the failure to address the maxillary hypoplasia, the dentition, the maxillary arches, the hearing, and the speech are common occurrences. This chapter will highlight the broad spectrum of cleft lip/palate conditions and the “why,” “when”, and “how” to address these deformities. Management of cleft lip/palate is a multidisciplinary task, with the child’s welfare at its center.</p> |
