[Secondary cheiloplasty in the treatment of cleft lip and palates].

In the course of treatment of cleft lip and palates, the quality of primary cheilo-rhinoplasty is essential to limit aesthetic and functional complications. This is why these primary reconstructions come under the domain of specialised centres with multidisciplinary teams. Unfortunately, residual imperfections often remain, especially in bilateral clefts, and secondary cheiloplasties represent for us a complex challenge. They aim at functional and aesthetic correction, and the choice of time is very random and depends largely on the psychological repercussions of the deformation in the child. It often occurs at the age of school entry and is combined with alveoloplasty. We then speak of alveolar transplantation with vestibulo and labio-plastie, the GPVP. Then we propose to combine all the resources of cosmetic surgery to improve the aesthetic and functional result of these children.
