  • Title: Starting a cleft team: a primer.
    Author: Capone RB, Butts SC, Jones LR, Cleft and Craniofacial Subcommittee of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) Specialty Surgery Committee.
    Journal: Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am; 2014 Nov; 22(4):587-91. PubMed ID: 25444730.
    Abstract:
    Facial plastic surgeons have a comprehensive understanding of the challenges that patients with cleft lip and palate encounter in form and function. Because there are areas in the United States where access to cleft care is limited, opportunities exist for facial plastic surgeons to develop cleft teams to provide greater availability of services to patients. A consensus statement has been developed by the Cleft and Craniofacial Subcommittee of the Specialty Surgery Committee of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery that outlines strategies for facial plastic surgeons who are prepared to assume leadership roles in domestic multidisciplinary cleft team initiatives.
