Cleft palate repair (palatoplasty) is a surgery that closes the gap in the roof of the mouth present at birth, when the tissues of the palate fail to fuse during early pregnancy. It is typically performed between 9 and 18 months of age, before a child begins developing spoken language, so that normal speech, feeding, and swallowing can be established from the start. The surgeon works entirely inside the mouth, releasing and repositioning the palate muscles, closing the nasal lining, and stitching all layers together — leaving no visible scar on the face. The procedure takes 2 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia, and most children stay in hospital for a few nights for breathing and feeding monitoring before going home. Cleft palate repair is one step in a longer coordinated care journey that often includes speech therapy, hearing checks, dental monitoring, and occasional follow-up procedures as the child grows.
