A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 76 patients carriers of cleft lip and palate in the office of Maxillofacial Surgery of San Paulos General Specialized Hospital in the city of Addis Adaba, during the rendering of internationalist health care services. 60.5 % of the patients were males. A great percentage of these patients (26.3; 22.4 y 17.1 %) exceeded the golden age to receive the appropriate treatment of their deformities. The complete right unilateral cleft (47.1 %) prevailed over the other types of clefts. 82.9 % of the patients underwent repairing according to Millard I method. Satisfactory results were attained in 88.9 % of the cases.

Keywords : Congenital cleft lip; cleft lip and palate; complete right unilateral cleft; Millard II method.
