Features: This book contains approximately 900,000 words, with over 10C① illustrations, divided into 4 parts.
Part 1: General Theory. Discusses the occurrence, mechanisms, causes, preventive measures, classification, and treatment principles of cleft lip and cleft palate.
Part 2: Cleft Lip. Covers the repair of cleft lip, nasal deformity repair, and repair of secondary deformities.
Part 3: Cleft Palate. Covers the repair of cleft palate, palatopharyngoplasty, prosthetic treatment, and speech therapy.
Part 4: Craniofacial. Discusses the repair of alveolar cleft, preoperative orthodontics, surgical correction of maxillofacial deformities, osteotraction technology for skeletal deformities and defects, and craniofacial clefts.
The 4th edition is based on the 3rd edition (1980), in addition to adding Part 4, it also includes:
① A more detailed history of cleft lip and palate repair;
② Highly refined applied anatomy of cleft lip and palate;
③ New concepts and methods that break through the traditional methods of repairing cleft lip and palate for over a century.
Based on the authors' 50+ years of practical experience in repairing cleft lip and palate, the new methods added to this book can achieve better lip-nasal morphology compared to current commonly used cleft lip repair surgeries, and better speech outcomes compared to conventional cleft palate surgeries. The research and initial clinical practice of osteotraction are particularly promising in correcting the current shortcomings of cleft palate and maxillofacial surgery.
The discussion of each issue in this book progresses from simple to complex, making it helpful for novice doctors to learn and also serves as a reference for experienced oral surgeons and plastic surgeons.
