Reviewing the orthognathic surgical care of the patient with cleft lip and palate: the single surgeon experience.
Patients with cleft lip and palate are best treated in a multidisciplinary setting and benefit from being treated by experienced surgeons in high-volume centers. We present the evaluation of 103 consecutive patients with cleft lip and palate treated by a senior craniofacial surgeon. The results of orthognathic surgery in respect to function, stability, cosmesis, and complications are audited.
