The authors report their long-term experience with the surgical treatment of malformations of the jaws and of the face associated with clefts in adults. They carried out 172 maxillary surgeries, 65 mandibular operations and 20 bimaxillary surgical procedures. In recent years they performed almost exclusively operations on the upper jaws. The applied surgical procedure allows the repair of malformations of the whole face, and the team of surgeons is not concerned solely with the impaired relations between both jaws.
