Cleft palate is a birth condition where there is an opening in the roof of the mouth due to incomplete development during pregnancy. This condition can affect feeding, speech, hearing, and normal growth in children. Cleft palate repair is a specialized reconstructive surgery performed to close the opening and improve the function and structure of the mouth. Professor Dr. Mohammad Nashir Uddin provides expert cleft palate treatment using modern surgical techniques focused on long-term functional and aesthetic improvement.
