This atlas provides comprehensive, step-by-step guidance on surgical management of the cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. In particular, it demonstrates how an anatomical approach to management provides a sound basis for dealing with the many variations in cleft type. The displaced anatomical borders and landmarks, as well as the functional and aesthetic units, are fully described. The art of dissecting them from their abnormal position is illustrated, and their reconstruction into a normal and functional shape is meticulously explained. The main treatment philosophy underlying the described approach is that children born with cleft deformity should be “cleftless” by the time they enter the first grade of primary school. They must have normal speech. They should not have a fistula or residual cleft in the palate and/or the alveolus. And they should have a normal face so that they can confront the challenges of life without cleft stigmata. Both novice and more experienced surgeons will find this atlas to be a valuable aid to optimal treatment.

Ervaart u zin en betekenis in uw leven? Een vraag die we bijna altijd met ‘ja’ willen beantwoorden. Wij, mensen, zijn zinmakers en zinzoekers, constructeurs van betekenis. We proberen elke dag opnieuw betekenis te geven aan ons leven, een leven zonder handleiding en vol uitdagingen. Die ervaring van een leven dat ertoe doet, is iets wat wij iedereen toewensen. En niet enkel om de ervaring zelf, maar ook omdat het ervaren van zin en betekenis een belangrijke factor is om je psychisch en fysiek goed in je vel te voelen en om veerkrachtig te kunnen omgaan met tegenslagen of verlies. Dit boek legt uit wat de ervaring van zin in het leven precies is en uit welke bronnen we kunnen putten in onze zoektocht naar zin en betekenis. Het geeft inzicht in hoe verlieservaringen op latere leeftijd de zin uit ons leven kunnen weghalen en biedt tips en handvatten om weer zin en betekenis te ervaren, vooral als we ouder worden. Dit boek is een pleidooi voor betekenisvol ouder worden.
