Liam M. Flood, FRCS, FRCSI, Middlesbrough, Journal of Laryngology & Otology (2013): ...This is a multi-author hardback book..[T]he the immediate impression is of a quality publication. Sharp colour illustrations, nicely printed line diagrams and, of course, the disk which is invaluable...As you would expect, this must be the definitive guide to all aspects of the work involved in congenital defects of the lip and palate... The book obviously concentrates on the knife to skin surgery. It works from anteriorly, the simple cleft lip, bilateral cleft, then posteriorly onto palatal defects. Rhinoplasty is well covered and I was very impressed by Table 13-3 for the series of questions that guides surgical decision making. As a novice, I found this very incisive. Revision surgery is clearly a challenge, but is gratifying to see how faces, usually in adults, are salvaged and transformed by expert work. Speech disorders, prosthetics and correction of velopharyngeal incompetence close the text book. For any unit engaged in such work, this must be an essential reference. For trainees, it could inspire an interest in work that is very rewarding and for which there is still a massive international need.

Alan Micco, MD (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Doody's Review Service The book details operative techniques with illustrations and demonstrates them with videos. It covers techniques for unilateral and bilateral cleft lip as well as cleft palate and midface/nasal surgery associated with these deformities. Both the illustrations and the videos are helpful in demonstrating these techniques. This is a high quality resource, with good illustrations and videos. It is a good surgical reference for individuals wanting to learn more about the technique of cleft surgery. 4 Stars!
