**11. Conclusion**

Orthognathic surgery, which is the last stage of CLP treatment, is a highly important step in management of the entire process. Therefore, there should be good communication among the patient, the family, and the cleft team. There are effects of factors that are unique to individuals or clefts on the outcomes of surgery, but their extent is still under debate.

Despite the different rates reported in the literature, the rates of complications in cleft surgery are striking. Strategies should be created by focusing on causes and mechanisms to prevent or minimize these complications.
