title: Secondary lip and palate surgery.
abstract: To properly treat a patient with a secondary cleft lip or palate deformity, one must make an accurate diagnosis of the underlying problem. Recognition of specific recurring patterns and common deformities will help facilitate the surgical planning process and assist the surgeon during future procedures. Through a combination of accurate analysis, clinical patience, and technical precision, successful correction of secondary cleft lip and palate deformities can be delivered.
