fm7Foreword
I feel great pleasure to write the foreword for the book Art and Science of Cleft Lip and Palate Repair. I know Girish Amlani since 1993 when he joined SCL Hospital as a MCh (Plastic surgery) Registrar. He is very sincere and hard working and has skilled surgical hands.
The book has excellent description of all the aspects of cleft lip and cleft palate. It has excellent illustrations of very important surgical steps. This book will be very useful to students of plastic surgery.

fm9Preface
The legendary late Dr Udayan H Vyas, Ex-Professor and Head of the Department of Plastic Surgery Unit, SCL Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India had great interest in cleft lip and palate surgery. Dr Santosh C Raibagkar, Professor and Head of the Department of Plastic Surgery Unit AMC MET Medical College and LG General Hospital, Ahmedabad, an Associate Professor at that time had great interest in facial plastic surgery. They gave me dissertation of “A study of 40 cases—Hegarty's unilateral cleft lip repair” in 1993–1995. The thought of the paper is being elaborated in the book format. In this book, embryology and anatomy of cleft lip and cleft palate is very interesting. Various classification systems have been mentioned with clinical photographs. Unilateral cleft lip repair, bilateral cleft lip repair, cleft palate repair, cleft nose repair, operation for velopharyngeal insufficiency are described with drawings and photographs. Guidelines for anesthesia in cleft surgeries help reduce mortality and mortalities associated with cleft surgeries.
