The stigmata of lip and palate clefting are well recognized, but recently it has been thought that these may be exacerbated by the surgical repair. Functional repair, however, with re-establishment of muscle continuity may result in less disruption to normal facial growth. This study examines mid-facial growth in 10 consecutive children aged 6.5 years with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate who had undergone functional repair. Outcomes were compared with non-cleft children and children who had undergone non-functional surgery.
唇腭裂的特征已广为人知，但最近有人认为手术修复可能会使这些特征更加明显。然而，通过恢复肌肉连续性进行功能性修复可能对正常面部生长的干扰较小。本研究对10名连续的6.5岁单侧完全性唇腭裂患儿进行了功能性修复后的面中部生长情况进行了研究。将结果与非腭裂儿童和接受非功能性手术的儿童进行了比较。
