Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate Surgery in New-born

Yahya Islamoglu

A cleft palate is a split or opening in the roof of the mouth that arises when the tissue does not fuse together during foetal development. A split (cleft) in the upper lip (cleft lip) is common with a cleft palate, but it can also occur without damaging the lip. Cleft palate is a very frequent congenital defect. It can happen on its own or as part of a hereditary disorder or syndrome. The opening in the mouth causes symptoms. Speaking and eating difficulties are among them. With minimal scarring, surgery restores normal function. Speech therapy, if necessary, aids in the correction of speech problems.
