Long-term results in surgical treatment of cleft lips and palates.

Of a total of 3681 operations for hare lip and cleft palate, 139 patients operated between 1951 and 1975 were compared with the aid of exact measurements of the impressions to ascertain whether early orthodontic treatment had an influence on the growing maxilla. 49% of 200 patients who were followed up had normal speach, 39% had minimal disturbances of articulation, in 12% of the patients the speach was poor. In 13 out of 16 of these patients pharyngoplasty improved the speach.

[Growth and growth hormone in children with congenital lip and palatal clefts].

In order to investigate the correlation supposed between cleft lip and palate of children and growth hormone deficiency we determined the amount of growth hormone in the blood serum of 199 children with cleft lip and palate and partly with other additional diseases. In contrast to a previous result we could not find a significant relation between the cleft-syndrome and growth hormone deficiency. All patients had a normal and sufficient concentration of the hormone. As result of our work we propose to determine the hormone concentration only in those cases in which less growth is observed too.
