title: Neonatal cleft lip repair in Ayrshire; a contribution to the debate.
abstract: Neonatal cleft lip repair has been the normal practice in Ayrshire, Scotland, for the last 10 years. The surgical results are briefly presented. Anaesthetic and paediatric considerations are discussed. Assuming careful preoperative assessment is made, the procedure carries minimal morbidity, can give good results and is believed to offer distinct advantages to the parents and child.
