Article Abstract
Purpose: One of the common sequels of a cleft lip repair may be "whistling lip deformity" but other deformities are also seen particularly in failed or multiple resurgery cases. This retrospective study was carried out to evaluate the usefulness of "Kapetansky-Juri" advancement flap technique to correct such deformities.
Methods: Ten patients of bilateral cleft lip with history of minimum five failed cleft lip surgeries and having residual lip deformity were operated using "Kapetansky-Juri" advancement flap technique and were followed up to minimum 36 months.
Results: All patients showed good tissue fullness and complete correction of the deformity. There was no contracture of surrounding skin or vermilion during follow-up period. In eight patients minimal scar formation was seen while two showed midline scar formation.
Conclusion: No tissue loss due to vascular insufficiency was observed. The technique gives good tissue distribution and minimal surface scar formation.

This study describes the results of whole exome sequencing in the etiological investigation and genetic counseling of families presenting with non-syndromic oral clefts with vertical transmission recorded in the Brazilian Database on Craniofacial Anomalies. Whole exome sequencing was performed in 18 families presenting with non-syndromic oral clefts with vertical transmission, and variant filtering was used to identify rare, and also possibly pathogenic variants in genes associated with oral clefts. Overall, our study identified seven families (38.

As individuals with a cleft lip and palate (CLP) transition into adulthood, they face unique employment challenges related to income, job stability, and fewer career options. This study explored these challenges through two focus group discussions with 19 participants (aged 21-38), primarily women, to understand their employment experiences. Thematic analysis revealed the following three main themes: (1) physical factors, (2) psychosocial factors, and (3) overcoming employment challenges, with nine sub-themes including speech, hearing, appearance, health, childhood experiences, societal expectations, lack of self-confidence, communication improvement, and self-esteem building.

Introduction: This descriptive study investigated the immediate individual effects of intensive group speech intervention on speech, health-related quality of life, and satisfaction in adolescents born with a cleft (lip and) palate (CP ± L) in the Philippines.
Methods: Four Filipino adolescents with a repaired CP ± L (age range = 17 to 23 years) were included. They presented with at least one cleft-related speech sound error.
