What we do

  • Interplast South travels to San Pedro Sula, Honduras twice a year.

  • Approximately 200 patients are seen a year and 80 cleft lip and palate surgeries performed. 

How cleft lip and palates are
 repaired 
  • Cleft lip and palates are among the most common birth defect of children born in Central America. 

  • ​

  • They are an incomplete formation of the upper lip or roof of the mouth.

  • ​

  • A child can be born with one or both of the conditions. 

  • ​

  • The repairs are done in stages.  Lips are completed prior to palate surgeries.

Why Honduras?

 

  • Honduras is the second poorest country in Central America and one of the ten poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere.
