title: [Results of a retrospective study of the primary treatment of labiopalatine clefts (author's transl)].
abstract: This study concerned a homogeneous series of 233 children operated upon between 1960 and 1972 by the same surgeon, with an unchanging therapeutic attitude and followed up by a permanent team including surgeon, paediatrician, orthodontist, speech therapist. It represents a first critical analysis of the results obtained, here in an age group representing a minimum of 7 years follow up. Computer cards were prepared for each patient involving analysis of more than 400 parameters, in association with ensuring that patients who had not been followed up regularly were sent for and subjected to a complete assussment. The following main areas are covered: anatomoclinical aspects of clefts, associated lesions, initial surgical techniques and the postoperative course, ENT and paediatric problems arising during early childhood, orthodontic needs, investigations and results of speech therapy, complete assessments at 4 and 7 years.
