PRINCIPLES OF TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL CLEFT PALATE AND LIP

Congenital cleft lip and palate (cheiloschisis) is a soft tissue cleft in the middle part of the lip (colloquially known as "harelip") and/or a cleft palate (colloquially known as "wolf's mouth"). This severe malformation of the maxillofacial region is accompanied by gross functional disorders. In addition, the peculiarity of this pathology is a pronounced deformation of the nose in the form of shortening of the nasal septum, flattening of the tip and wings of the nose. Pathologically attached muscles of the upper lip and nasal region further aggravate these deformities.
