my sisters son has cleft uvula, he got it in birth. and now he is 1 year old and 11 kgs weight. doctors told that he can go under knife at this moment. and the doctors told that its just joining the two ends. I just confused .,,, can you please help me by explaining the complications(if any), and how can that little boy do with that??
HI... Cleft palate only needs t be surgically corrected. If it is cleft uvula, and it is not creating any problems for the kid then it need not be surgically corrected. IFID uvula is also very common and is a normal variant. But if the cleft uvula is extending on to cleft soft palate then it needs to be surgically corrected. Regards -
