One surgery vs. multiple surgeries for cleft nose and gum repair
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares doing a single surgery to fix both the nose and gum problems caused by a cleft lip and palate, versus doing multiple surgeries over time. It aims to find out which approach works better for children and teens.
