Dr. Phillip Strawther did this surgery at the Clinica Ezell in Guatemala. For the untrained eye, the black is the gauze that covers the denuded bone. This tissue will granulate in and make the palate smooth and comfortable. Prior to surgery this patient could not speak plainly enough to be understood. As soon as the anesthetic wore off the mother heard her child speak normally and was overcome with gratitude.
