A procedure to correct cleft of the lip and or the palate in children
born with this anomaly.
A cleft lip is an opening of the upper lip resulting from abnormal
development of the lip and nose. A cleft palate is an opening in the
roof of the mouth resulting from abnormal development of that area.
Cleft lip and palate can occur together or separately. They are the
most common forms of birth defects of the face.
Some problems can be associated with clefts of the lip and palate (such
as speech, feeding and facial disfigurement), as well as more severe
and complicated clefts of the face.
