Congenital cleft lip and palate is a cleft soft tissue in the middle part of the lip (cleft lip) and/or cleft palate (cleft mouth). This severe malformation of the maxillofacial region is accompanied by severe functional abnormalities. In addition, a feature of this pathology is a pronounced deformity of the nose in the form of shortening of the nasal septum, flattening of the tip and wings of the nose. Pathologically attached muscles of the upper lip and nasal area further aggravate these deformities
