[Implementation of early comprehensive rehabilitation of children with cleft lip and palate using the example of the Moscow region]

Lack of early comprehensive rehabilitation of children with congenital cleft lip and palate, with age leads to aggravation of anatomical and functional disorders. Aesthetic external deformation is progressing, requiring multiple corrections. The absence of orthopedic correction in the pre-surgical period, functional correction of anatomically restored muscles in the postoperative period, exacerbates the pathology of the bite, causes persistent speech disorders. The pathology of speech adversely affects the general physical, intellectual development of the child, as well as his full adaptation in society. Problems not eliminated in childhood subsequently interfere in work and in everyday life. The patient should receive such medical care that would fill the health gap and contribute to the formation of socially significant personality traits. An integrated approach has become the only possible and only it brings optimal results. The organization of cooperation between specialists should be carried out on the basis of the Federal, Regional General Medical Profile of the medical institution.
