About Study Course
Objective
1. To provide knowledge about orofacial clefts complex care system and interdisciplinary treatment planning.
2. To provide knowledge of primary and secondary operations principles, methodologies and techniques.
3. Achieving competence in interdisciplinary treatment planning and oral and maxillo-facial surgeon's role in it.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Be able to explain congenital lip and palate clefts etiology, pathogenesis, prevalence, classification, possible prevention, early antenatal diagnosis; explain lip and cleft treatment principles, feeding special features depending on the type of pathology; more often used operation methods and principles; to characterize the post-operative period; evaluate the results of treatment patients with congenital cleft treatment.
Skills
1.The student will be able to: set congenital cleft diagnosis; set functional disorders; to inform parents and training for patient care (eg. meals); designate appropriate ordinations before surgery and in the postoperative period; assist at primary and secondary operations; to present one clinical case.
Competences
1.The student will be able to formulate a diagnosis of congenital cleft patients with certain types of clefts and explain the associated functional disorders now and in the future. Will use the acquired knowledge to explain to parents functional disorders associated with abnormalities and will provide recommendations for child care. Will be able to draw up a surgical treatment plan for an individual patient and to substantiate it.
