Cleft Lip / Cleft Palate Surgery (click for worldwide facilities list): Cleft lip, jaw or palate are congenital malformations that can occur separately or concurrently, and can be present unilaterally or bilaterally. The most common form of a schisis condition is the unilateral lip, jaw and palate cleft, an embryonic fusion disorder. Schisis is a medical term used to describe any condition involving two or more malformations of certain types.
Cleft lip and cleft palate:
A cleft is an opening or a split in the upper lip, the roof of the mouth (palate) or both. n babies with cleft lip or cleft palate, the structures that normally fuse together during the first three prenatal months never takes place or occurs only partially, leaving an opening.
Mothers or the fathers can pass on genes that cause clefting, either as an isolated defect or as part of a syndrome that includes clefting as one of its signs.
Fetal exposure to cigarette smoke, alcohol, certain medications, illicit drugs and certain viruses have been linked to the development of a cleft. Researchers believe that some clefts may be caused by nutritional deficiencies in the mother, particularly a lack of folate.
Treatment involves surgery to repair the defect and therapies to improve any related conditions.
Based on new research, it may someday be routine for doctors to repair cleft lip and cleft palate in fetuses before birth. Doctors hope that minimally invasive surgical techniques will make this possible, since the risk to the mother and baby is reduced by smaller incisions. One major advantage of in utero repair of cleft lip and cleft palate is scarless healing, a phenomenon in which the surgical wounds made in a young fetus heal with little or no noticeable scarring. This early repair also has the potential to interrupt the secondary effects of cleft lip and cleft palate, such as speech, dental and hearing problems, as well as counteracting psychological issues for the child and family.
