How will we organize the
reviews with the different cleft team members ?
After antenatal diagnosis or after birth, the surgeon proposes a
meeting with the parents as soon as possible. During this meeting, we details
the methods of cleft repair [6].
Ideally, children with cleft lip and palate are treated by a
specialist "cleft team" which includes plastic paediatric surgeon, ENT
surgeon as well as speech therapist and orthodontist. Care and support of the
child and the family should last from birth until the child stops growing at
about 18 years old. The surgeon introduce the parents to the
team members : ENT after the sixth month then every year, the speech
therapist and the orthodontist the first year then on a regilar basis. It is
possible to repair the cleft lip of European babies with prior agreement of the
policy of the original country. Health insurance will pay for all or part of the
necessary care.
