Cleft lip and palate – current management in the Czech Republic
Rozštěpové vady – současný management v České republice
Rozštěpové vady patří k častým vrozeným vývojovým vadám. Péče o rozštěpové pacienty je multioborová a dlouhodobá. Úkolem plastického chirurga je provést primární suturu rtu a patra, případnou augmentaci defektu alveolárního výběžku horní čelisti a veškeré korekční výkony až po sekundární rinoplastiku. ORL specialista se soustředí na prevenci poruchy sluchu v důsledku insuficience Eustachovy trubice. Ortodontisté v indikovaných případech zhotovují a pečují o aparáty předchirurgické přípravy u novorozenců a nejpozději v době výměny chrupu začínají realizovat i ortodontickou terapii. Logoped provází rozštěpového pacienta od novorozeneckého období až po nápravu výslovnosti v době školní docházky. Maxilofaciální chirurg provádí augmentaci alveolárního defektu a ortognátní výkony. Nezastupitelná je role prenatálního diagnostika, genetika, psychologa a řady dalších odborníků.

Overview
Clefts are among the most common congenital anomalies. The management of patients with orofacial clefts is multidisciplinary and requires long-term care. The plastic surgeon is responsible for primary repair of the lip and palate, possible alveolar bone grafting, and subsequent corrective procedures, including secondary rhinoplasty. The otorhinolaryngologist focuses on the prevention and management of hearing impairment associated with Eustachian tube dysfunction. In indicated cases, the orthodontist provides presurgical orthopedics in newborns and initiate orthodontic treatment no later than during the mixed dentition period. Speech therapist is involved from the neonatal period through to the correction of speech disorders during the school years. The maxillofacial surgeon performs alveolar bone grafting and orthognathic procedures. The roles of prenatal diagnosticians, geneticists, psychologists, and many other specialists are also indispensable.
