Carla Being Given Anesthesia

Carla underwent cleft lip repair by the interplast Cusco, Peru surgical team last year, and was treated this morning for her cleft palate, which was wide open. It is common for patients to have a cleft lip repaired one year and a cleft palate the following year. By seperating the surgeries, Interplast doctors give the child time to heal and avoid keeping the patient under anesthesia for too long.
