In Designing Strategies for Cleft Lip and Palate Care it was aimed to link the epidemiology from different areas in the world with the interspecialty surgical care and the future genetic research projects. The objective is to concisely discuss the methodology of interspecialty care and stimulate future ideas for prophylactically managing or preventing such deformities. I am confident that one day the surgical interventions that bombard the patients from the day of newborn delivery and throughout the years of youth should be significantly decreased based on the genetic prophylactic intervention, probably.

This surgical atlas fills the gap in the knowledge of appropriately handling cleft palate cases; from Primary repair to management of palatal fistula. This pictorial resource has been compiled and edited by an expert who operates one of the highest cleft lip and palate correction programs in the world and his team has performed more than 44,000 surgeries, restoring Smile and good speech to thousands of patients across the globe. It covers all variants and different types of cleft palate cases, including both primary cases as well as in previously operated cases. It starts with an in-depth elaboration on anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the (normal) palate and cleft palate, moving towards classification and identification of different types of palatal fistula and their management with the help of clear flow charts and simple algorithms, enabling better diagnosis and decision making. With over 1500 high definition colored images and hand-drawn sketches, this atlas provides a detailed description of diagnosis, problems and the management of each and every type of cleft palate and palatal fistulae. . The underlying objective of such surgeries is to best restore a barrier between the nasal and oral cavities. and better speech production, which is highlighted amply in each chapter.

Cleft lip and cleft palate are facial and oral malformations that occur very early in pregnancy, while the baby is developing inside the mother. Clefting results when there is not enough tissue in the mouth or lip area, and the tissue that is available does not join together properly (WebMD). This book is a concise guide to the management of cleft lip and cleft palate. Beginning with an introduction to embryology and anatomy related to the conditions, the following sections explain different surgical techniques for their repair. Classification systems are discussed in depth, enhanced by clinical photographs and 3D sonography images. Each topic includes the very latest information in the specialty, and high quality illustrations demonstrate operative steps in each procedure. Key points Concise guide to the management of cleft lip and cleft palate Provides detailed overview of embryology and anatomy Discusses different surgical techniques for repair Covers classification systems with clinical photographs and 3D images

Cleft Lip and Palate Management: A Comprehensive Atlas—with more than 400 photographs and illustrations—provides the latest concepts about the surgical/orthodontic interrelation in cleft lip and palate treatment. Dr. Bennun and his team detail the diagnostic techniques to determine the best treatment protocols for optimal results and decreased chance of retreatment. The first part explains the principles of cleft and palate treatment, including the role of tissue engineering in craniofacial surgery. Part 2 details the aspects of primary surgical reconstruction, Part 3 discusses orthodontic treatments of cleft lip and palate, including a chapter on adult treatment, and Part 4 covers how to improve results in interdisciplinary treatment. Case presentations include results of treatment after 20-year follow up visits. Ideal for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, pediatric plastic surgeons, orthodontists, pediatric dentists, and residents in these specialties.

Majoradvances in the diagnosis and treatment of oral clefts have been made in the past 50 years, and recent genetics and epidemiological studies have led to new theories about the causes of cleft lip and palate. Addressing issues that are relevant to clinicians, researchers and family members, this book is a comprehensive, well-illustrated, and up-to-date account of the many facets of this common disorder. The authors describe the embryological and molecular mechanisms of cleft causation, present and illustrate the genetic and epidemiological methods used to identify risk factors for oral clefts, and describe treatments by the various professionals of the cleft team. A section is also devoted to the integration of research findings into public health practice, including ethical and financial considerations. The book draws together such diverse disciplines as craniofacial development, gene mapping, epidemiology, medicine, ethics, health economics, and health policy and management, and it will be an invaluable reference work.

This widely acclaimed reference work gives a comprehensive survey of all significant human malformations and related anomalies from the perspective of the clinician. The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. When known, the molecular or other pathogenetic basis for the malformation is given. Most anomalies are illustrated by photographs or drawings. Specific malformations are linked to syndromes through the extensive use of differential diagnosis tables. Over a decade has passed since the first edition of this book was published, and the revised edition fully incorporates the advances made in the field during the intervening years.. It reflects new understanding of human developmental biology that has emerged from molecular, cytogenetic, and biochemical studies; new observations by clinicians as well as enhanced diagnostic and prevention capacities; and more accurate and comprehensive epidemiology. By condensing much of the information presented in the first volume of the previous edition, and exercising rigorous editorial control, Drs. Stevenson and Hall and their contributors have managed to update the book while reducing its size to that of a single volume. All clinicians and scientists interested in birth defects, including pediatricians, geneticists, genetic counselors, obstetricians, and pediatric pathologists, will find this book to be an invaluable source of information.
