“…It is a recognized fact that unrepaired cleft patients have acceptable maxillary relationship and development. (26), (27), (28) Due to early palatal surgical intervention, maxillary hypoplasia which occurred in anteroposterior direction therefore, many surgeons began to perform palate repair in two stages. First the soft palate was repaired followed by hard palate.…”

BACKGROUND To establish speech, growth and development of maxillofacial region and hearing etc. towards normal is the aim of every professional working for cleft care. With a quest to attain and normalize the growth and development in CLP since ages, researchers and workers have invented and still inventing newer technique to treat them. The procedure of surgeries has evolved over a period of time. Controversies concerning speech and maxillofacial growth have challenged many surgeons who have come up with different views in surgical methods. Studies suggest that the palate repair is the main cause of the maxilla and growth disturbance that later is responsible for speech impairment due to fibrous tissue in anterior palate and constricted tissue in uvula due to repair. Many authors have noted that delayed hard palate repair has more positive effects on maxillary growth than that of early hard palate repair, but studies have also proved that late palate repair impair the speech with due respect. This unsolved controversy whether to opt for late/ early palatoplasty w.r.t to the improvement in speech is still unsolved controversy. The purpose of this article is to review the history of cleft palate surgery, its evolution, various surgical methods and optimal timing of cleft palate repair.

Volunteer missions for cleft lip and palate (CLP) care in Indonesia (1991-1992), India (1994-2003), Bhutan (2005-2010), and Kenya (2011), took place always at the same Hospital in each country. Altogether over a thousand patients were operated using a conservative protocol: Safety first - no experiments. Five months and 5 kg were the basic rules. For the native doctors, training help for self-help was priority. In the announcements, patients with CLP were primarily addressed. Burns, contractions, tumors, and trauma-cases were the second priority. Fresh trauma was done in night shifts with the local surgeons in order not to interfere. Besides facial esthetics speech was the number one issue, following priorities fell into place. Cultural aspects played a certain role in the different countries and continents.

“…In the sagittal dimension there is, apart from the cleft region, no difference in facial development between non-operated cleft lip and palate and non-cleft controls. The premaxilla is still protruded and mostly rotated (Boo-Chai, 1971;Bishara et al, 1985;Rees, 1991). The anterior ends of the lateral arch segments show a medial collapse in some cases (Davis, 1951;Bishara et al, 1985;Rees, 1991) or a lateral external displacement (Ortiz-Monasterio et al, 1966).…”
