Atlas of Non-Desirable Outcomes in Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery

This atlas covers the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of poor outcomes and complications in cleft lip and palate surgery. Drawing on 25 years of experience and illustrated with more than 200 images, it presents the full spectrum of complications through case studies alongside management and prevention protocols.

Organized into nine didactic parts, the chapters address complications related to anesthesia, lip asymmetry, scar disorders, postoperative dehiscence, and secondary nose deformities, as well as dentoskeletal sequelae. Each topic is approached in a case-based format that connects clinical presentation to practical management.

This resource is intended for plastic surgeons, pediatric surgeons, otolaryngologists, maxillofacial surgeons, head and neck surgeons, dentists, and anesthesiologists.
