[The whole treatment of cleft lip and/or palate by the team of Dr. Chancholle in Toulouse].

Our choice in the treatment of the C.L.P. child is that the child is accepted by his parents and by Society as well as possible. In this way, the most important points are: to inform parents and Society of the ability of the child to a normal and satisfactory life. This information must be based upon the exact knowledge of what is really the cleft disease, its causes, and not only the genetic ones, the whole troubles induced by the cleft, local and general, and their treatment: by neonatal operation and, however was the choice of operative technic, by educative and reeducative means based on an exact knowledge of the modified physiology of the child: above all, sensory-motricity coordination and early speech-therapy before speech. The follow-up of the child at the difficult time of school admission, and cooperation between all the members of the team and the teachers.
