title: The future training of surgeons to manage patients with cleft lip and palate disorders.
abstract: The development of the face and the upper lip occurs during the fifth to ninth week of pregnancy. A cleft is a separation or split in either the upper lip or palate and sometimes both. Cleft lip and palate can occur on its own (nonsyndromic) or is sometimes part of a wider series of birth defects (syndromic).
