Reviews
what is Cleft lip and palate?
Cleft lip and palate are birth defects that cause a gap or hole in the upper lip and/or the roof of the mouth. These conditions can affect how children look, speak, eat, and breathe. Fortunately, there is a surgery that can fix these problems and help children live better and happier lives.
Lip repair surgery
Lip repair surgery is when the surgeon closes the gap in the upper lip by stitching the skin and muscle together. This surgery can improve the appearance of the lip and the nose, and make it easier for children to smile and express themselves. Lip repair surgery is usually done when the baby is 3 to 6 months old.
Palate repair surgery
Palate repair surgery is when the surgeon closes the hole in the roof of the mouth by moving the tissue and muscle around. This surgery can improve the function of the palate and the speech, and prevent food and liquids from going into the nose. Palate repair surgery is usually done when the baby is 9 to 18 months old.
General Information about surgery
Both surgeries are done under general anesthesia, which means the child will be asleep and not feel any pain. The surgeries usually take 1 to 2 hours, and the child may need to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days. The child will have some stitches and dressings on the lip and/or the palate, and may need to take some medicine to prevent infection and reduce swelling. The child will also need to follow some special instructions for eating, drinking, and cleaning the mouth. The child will have some follow-up visits with the surgeon and other specialists to check the healing and the development.
Treatments for cleft lip and palate
Cleft lip and palate are conditions that affect some babies who are born with a gap or hole in their upper lip and/or the roof of their mouth. These conditions can make it hard for them to eat, talk, and breathe normally. They can also affect how they look and feel about themselves. To help them, they need surgery and other treatments to fix the problems and improve their lives.
The process for surgery
The treatment for cleft lip and palate involves a team of doctors and experts who work together to help the child. The main treatment is surgery, which can close the gap in the lip and the hole in the mouth. The surgery can also improve the shape of the nose and the sound of the voice. The surgery is done in different stages, depending on the child’s age and needs. Usually, the lip is fixed first, when the baby is 3 to 6 months old. Then, the palate is fixed, when the baby is 9 to 18 months old. Sometimes, more surgeries are needed later, when the child is older, to make the lip, nose, and mouth look and work better.
More details information
The surgery is done in a hospital, where the child is given medicine to make them sleep and not feel any pain. The surgery takes 1 to 2 hours, and the child may need to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days. After the surgery, the child will have some stitches and bandages on the lip and/or the mouth. The child may also need to take some medicine to prevent infection and reduce swelling. The child will also need to follow some special instructions for eating, drinking, and cleaning the mouth. The child will have some check-ups with the doctor and other specialists to see how the healing and the development are going.
Besides surgery, the child may also need other treatments for the problems caused by cleft lip and palate. For example, the child may need:
- Feeding advice, such as using a special bottle or spoon, to help them eat better
- Speech therapy, to help them talk more clearly
- Dental treatment, such as braces, to help them have a good bite and smile
- Hearing tests and ear tubes, to help them hear better and prevent ear infections
The treatment for cleft lip and palate can make a big difference in the child’s life. It can help them grow up healthier, happier, and more confident.
FAQ about Cleft lip and palate in Iran
What is a cleft lip/palate?
A cleft means a split or separation. Babies can be born with a split in their lip and/or roof of their mouth (palate) that did not fully close during development. This leaves an opening between the mouth and nose area.
How are clefts repaired?
Clefts cause feeding, speech, and dental issues. Surgery is needed to close the openings. The first repair is usually done at 3-6 months old. The lip is closed in one or more stages by stitching together the muscle and skin. The palate may be repaired around 9-12 months old by stitching the tissues together. More minor touch up procedures may happen in childhood.
What is recovery like?
After lip surgery, there will be stitches and swelling. Pain medicine keeps your baby comfortable while an IV gives fluids/nutrition if needed. Swelling goes down in about 2 weeks. Palate repair swelling can last 4-6 weeks before fading. Feeding may need adjustment at first. Speech therapy often helps long term.
What kind of results can my child expect?
The goal is to allow normal feeding, speech development, and facial growth resulting in both good function and appearance. With current techniques, kids can have quite minimal lasting effects of their cleft. But some follow-up with specialties like orthodontics is common into the teen years. Every child’s cleft and treatment plan is unique.
What should I ask my child’s doctor?
Ask about: surgery details/risks, recovery milestones, speech/feeding issues, medications, expected outcomes over time. Keep an open dialog so you understand the treatment plan. Share any concerns promptly – the team will fully support your child!
