Abstract

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are among the most common congenital anomalies, posing significant challenges to affected individuals and their families. This comprehensive review examines recent advancements in surgical techniques and their impact on outcomes in CLP repair. By evaluating contemporary methods, including primary and secondary surgical interventions, we highlight improvements in surgical precision, patient safety, and functional outcomes. The review synthesizes findings from recent studies and clinical trials to offer a holistic view of current practices, emphasizing the integration of innovative techniques and interdisciplinary care in enhancing the quality of life for patients with CLP.
