[Cheiloplasty-jaw osteoplasty using a modified R. Millard-V. Veau technic].
Children having a large labiopalatine cleft, show surgical, orthopedic and esthetic problems which are frequently difficult to solve. The author makes a description of the surgical technique he has employed in 45 children who were operated between the years 1976 and 1982. All the sicks have been observed in their evolution by the same team composed of the maxillo-facial surgeon, the orthopedist and the dentist who makes the odontologist treatment. The investigation consists of a critical analysis of the evolution of the sick, and this is the first part of a more complete work in which more important results from the radiographic and orthopedical points of view are expected to obtain. The chirurgical technique described seems to improve the immediate and later results in relation to those which close the cleft in several times.
