Abstract:
Successful outcomes in the treatment of complete unilateral cleft-lip and palate (CUCL/P) and complete bilateral cleft lip and palate (CBCLP) are not obtained universally, despite significant improvements in surgical techniques over the past three decades. In particular, deficient palatal growth may occur even when expert surgical treatment is rendered. The factors which contribute most significantly to unfavorable growth outcomes remain obscure.
