Achieving excellence in cleft lip and palate treatment

Excellence in Cleft Lip and palate treatment is dependent on a dedicated multidisciplinary approach in which the surgeons’ performance over time is primary in determining the success or failure of the overall treatment. The effect of a given new treatment on final patient outcomes cannot be adequately evaluated in the short term by a surgeon or his or her team. 

Over the last 30 years, Centre has evaluated a treatment protocol that, in our experience, has yielded consistently good and proven results. Treatment goals are to achieve early correction form and function, incorporating the major advances in cleft care.

• 3 months: primary unilateral cleft lip and nose;
• 6 to 9 months: to flip one stage palatoplasty;
• Five years: secondary minor lip nose (35% of cases)
• 7 to 9 years: cancellous iliac bone graft to alveolar cleft (100% cases)
• Full growth: orthognathic surgery (25% of cases)
• Eight years full growth: rhinoplasty or other soft tissue surgery (most cases)

Excellence is now within our reach – we have acquired the knowledge and technical expertise and developed and tested the particles for delivering superior and effective cleft care. It is now our responsibility and privilege to ensure that this level of care is available to all children who need it. Worldwide, centres must join together to foster the development and support of enough centres of excellence in the Third World to assure the delivery of state of the art care over time was dedicated teams.

the etiopathogenesis of craniofacial dysmorphology

The completion of the sequencing of the human genome and identification of genes implicated in craniofacial embryogenesis and dysmorphology will have a profound impact on clinical practice. Molecular medicine will redefine syndromology and turn ontology and provide for pharmacogenomics for targeted drug therapy. The diagnosis, nosology, pathogenesis, prognosis, treatment and prevention of craniofacial anomalies will be predicated upon the revelations of molecular biology. Clinicians treating congenital malformations, deformations and disruptions of development require insights into molecular genomics, embryology and teratology to understand the inheritance, causes, cures, palliative and prophylaxis of dysmorphology. The mechanisms of inductions, organizing centres, morphogenesis, growth factors and cytokines consummate conception. Aberrations caused by mutations, aneuploidies, teratogens, disruptions and deformations result in dysmorphology. Syndromology results from molecular misappropriation. Afflictions will be controlled from their initial genetic pathological determination by prevention rather than treatment of their consequent damage. The basics of biology translate into clinical concerns requiring insightful therapy that will be increasingly determined by genomics.
