Thank you to Dr. David Fisher, Director of the Cleft Program Sick Kids Toronto for taking the time to answer a few of my questions at the most recent American Cleft Palate meeting.

He also pointed me to a few Operation Smile Academy videos he helped film recently, including discussions about his markings and his surgical thought process.

I enjoyed the thoughtful exchange of ideas, and his humility and inquisitiveness even with his extensive experience.

For all the cleft surgeons out there: his videos are well done and worth viewing!

Case Details

Cleft lip repair is traditionally done at about 3 months of age.

Some centers have moved this up to 2-4 weeks, once the child is doing well and gaining weight. There may be some benefits to feeding and weight gain doing this on the earlier side.
