A young child laying on the operating theatre table soon after an operation to repair a cleft lip.


Baby cleft palet operation. The child has a unilateral, incomplete cleft lip. The cleft is classified as incomplete because it does not extend up to the nasal sill. Additionally, a Simonart band can be seen; a fibrous slip of tissue that connects the sill to the cleft. Tetracycline ointment has been placed in the eyes to prevent post-operative infections suc
