Abstrakt: A lot of children with cleft lip and palate are not operated in the developing world, due to a lack of surgeons, hospitals, or simply because the condition is not considered as a priority. Charity missions give the opportunity to repair these malformations. Non-operated cleft lip and palate are the first problem, but our surgery may cause growth disturbances and sometimes a second operation is needed, more difficult than the first one in mission conditions. Repairing a cleft palate needs to be adapted to the type of cleft but also to the age of the child, a velopalatine pharyngoplasty can be performed in some cases.
