Abstract:
This article explores the presurgical interventions before formal cleft lip and palate repair, including upper lip taping, nostril elevation systems, and compares these methods to nasoalveolar molding. We review a clinical case and outline a proposed model for how to presurgically optimize a patient for cleft repair surgery.
