Abstract
Description
Congenital cleft lip and palate, being one of the most common human malformations, is accompanied by severe anatomical and functional disorders from the first days of a child's life. The very birth of a child with visible developmental disorders is a severe socio-psychological trauma for the parents and the child himself. To provide qualified assistance to this group of patients, multi-stage surgical interventions and constant monitoring by an orthodontist, pediatrician, speech therapist and other specialists are required.
