Abstract
Thirty-one patients whose complete unilateral clefts of lip and palate had been repaired by early operation were followed up for 18 years. The results showed that repair of the hard palate is followed by deformity of the maxilla in a sufficient number of patients to suggest that we need to look for improved methods of repair of the hard palate.
