Abstract
The emphasis on beauty in our society also places demands on children to meet a certain appearance. With cleft lip and palate being one of the most common birth defects, it is likely that pediatric nurses or pediatric nurse practitioners will encounter children requiring a form of craniofacial surgery. This article discusses common reconstruction techniques and important features of care.
