Read the guideline
Abstract
Cleft lip and palate deformities (CLPD) constitute one of the more common types of congenital malformation. In Germany, the prevalence is more than 1 in 500 births. The treatment is complex; multistep interdisciplinary treatment is needed for full recovery. In this S3-level clinical practice guideline, we provide evidence- and consensus-based recommendations for the treatment of patients with CLPD.
