It is reported in the news that a three-year-old baby boy with cleft lip and palate was abandoned in the mountains. Although the child is defective, it will not be abandoned. Everyone thinks they are irresponsible and cruel parents. So, is cleft lip and palate difficult to treat?
Cleft lip and palate is a congenital disease, which is caused by embryonic development disorder. Most cleft lip and palate can be cured by repair. The main treatment of cleft lip and palate is surgical repair. For severe cleft lip and palate, more than one operation is needed.
The treatment of cleft lip and palate needs a series of treatments. Cleft lip and palate can be divided into unilateral cleft lip and bilateral cleft lip. The best operation time for cleft lip and palate is three months after birth, and the earlier the repair, the better the effect. If it can be repaired in time, it can achieve normal morphology and normal language function.
If the child is found to have cleft lip and palate after birth, it needs to be repaired as soon as possible. The surgical plan of cleft lip and palate needs to be determined according to the symptoms and severity of the child. Early surgical treatment is to improve the function, avoid the situation that poor breastfeeding affects the development, or avoid infection.
