More than 10,000 patients with cleft lip and palate have their beautiful smiles restored, and there has been no adverse event of surgery
Cleft lip and palate is a common oromaxillofacial developmental malformation that includes cleft lip and palate and can occur alone or in combination. Cleft lip and palate can be corrected, and the deformity can be corrected by surgical repair. The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Second Hospital of Zhengzhou is one of the earliest departments in our province to carry out cleft lip and palate surgery in an all-round way, and the surgical repair technology of cleft lip and palate is at the advanced level in the country. In 2006, the Second Hospital of Zhengzhou City became the designated hospital for free centralized surgical activities for patients with cleft lip and palate on the "Smile Train", and there was no case of adverse surgical events in the past 17 years. From 2012 to 2020, it has won the "Smile Train" Best Project Cooperative Hospital Award and Outstanding Contribution Award for many times. Among them, in 2013, it won the 8th place in the evaluation of 397 project cooperation designated hospitals in the country.
Cleft lip and palate orthodontics is included in the rescue sequence, and patients with cleft lip and palate at all stages can register
Cleft lip and palate orthodontics is a plastic surgery for the purpose of more beautiful appearance and higher quality of life, focusing on the needs of patients, as early as 2016, the Second Hospital of Zhengzhou City has successfully applied for the cleft lip and palate orthodontic project subsidy, making the hospital become the province's "smile train" project designated hospitals for the most complete sequence of cleft lip and palate repair. Therefore, not only the first and second stage repair surgeries for cleft lip and palate, but also more delicate plastic surgeries in the later stage have also been included in the scope of free assistance.
Ma Pingsheng, director of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Second Hospital of Zhengzhou City, who presided over the centralized surgery, said, "During this centralized operation, in addition to the "big names" in the field of cleft lip and palate repair in China and the team of Professor Fu Yuchuan of Wuhan University Stomatological Hospital, there are also expert teams from Peking University Stomatological Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University in Beijing. Our goal is not only to perform surgery on every patient with cleft lip and palate**, but also to further improve their quality of life and make them look more aesthetically pleasing. It is reported that the Second Hospital of Zhengzhou City also applied for a transportation subsidy of 200 yuan per person for the patients who participated in this centralized surgical treatment activity.
