Além das cicatrizes: Direito à realização de cirurgia plástica reconstrutiva da fissura labiopalatina à luz do Projeto de Lei Nº 3.526/2019

Abstract

The present work aims to propose an analysis about the importance of implementing Bill Nº 3.526/2019, in the effectiveness of the treatment and rights of people with cleft lip and palate, focusing on the performance of reconstructive plastic surgery by the Unified Health System (SUS). In this way, it identifies which services and rights the Bill nº 3.526/2019 seeks to expand to people with cleft lip and palate; map services offered by the Unified Health System (SUS) for the treatment of people with cleft lip and palate and point out the possible impacts of Bill No. 3,526/2019, in guaranteeing services and rights for the treatment of people with cleft lip and palate. Therefore, from this monograph, we seek to broaden the debate about the coping of people with cleft lip and palate in relation to the realization of complete treatment by the SUS, as well as the lack of information and prejudices with these people. For this analysis, through a bibliographic review on the theme of cleft lip and palate, we seek to know the concept of cleft lip and palate, as a congenital malformation, which causes difficulties in speech, hearing, eating, functional aesthetics, among other consequences, because cleft lip and palate not only leaves surgical scars, but goes beyond, interfering with social, mental and emotional development. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of treatment and its results in the quality of life and well-being of people with cleft lip and palate. In this way, we seek to highlight the positive aspects that Bill No. 3,526/2019 can bring to the extension and effectiveness of services for people with cleft lip and palate, as well as the need for legal formulations that can guarantee the right to health of these people.
