The history of surgery of cleft lip and palates reaches as far backwards as the prechristian era to 390 B.C. when for the first time a cleft lip was closed successfully in China. Although Egyptian and Greek medicines developed to a remarkable degree, no descriptions of cleft operations have survived. In the middle ages operations on cleft lip have been several times described. A successful operation on a cleft palate did however not occur until 1816. This can be explained by the fact that cleft palates were thought to be secondary to syphilis, but also because without anaesthetic this operation was extremely painful and difficult. Graefe in 1816 [20a] and Roux in 1819 [49] published the first satisfactory results. After the introduction of chloroform cleft surgery made remarkable progress. The development of cleft surgery has been chronologically described and finally the present state of affairs is discussed.
唇腭裂手术的历史可以追溯到公元前390年的前基督教时代，当时中国首次成功完成了唇裂修复手术。尽管埃及和希腊医学取得了显著发展，但没有关于腭裂手术的描述留存下来。在中世纪，唇裂手术曾被多次描述。然而，直到1816年才成功进行了腭裂手术。这可以解释为，腭裂被认为是梅毒的继发性病变，而且在没有麻醉的情况下，该手术极其痛苦且困难。1816年，格雷费（Graefe）[20a]和1819年，鲁克斯（Roux）[49]发表了首批令人满意的结果。氯仿引入后，腭裂手术取得了显著进展。本文按时间顺序描述了腭裂手术的发展历程，并最终讨论了当前的状况。
