Cleft Palate


            Cleft palate is a congenital deformity that may occur in combination with a cleft lip. Cleft palate is an in-born separation of the roof of the mouth, which acts as a barrier between the mouth and the nasal cavity. The palate or the roof of the mouth has a hard and soft part. When you roll your tongue upwards you can feel the hard palate. The soft palate is way at the back, it is integral for speech. Affected children have hypernasal speech, feeding difficulty and frequent ear infection. Palate surgery restores the anatomy of the soft and hard palate as normal as possible. Study had shown that patients undergoing palatal surgery also had improved hearing and drop in ear infection rate. We usually require medical clearance for patients in the pediatric age group. This is done under general anesthesia  and with  hospital admission for few days.
