All patients who presented to the outpatient departments with cleft lip and palate, with the exception of previously operated cases, were included. All cases were described according to the Smith-modified Kernahan \u2018Y\u2019 classification and the authors' revised Smith-modified Kernahan \u2018Y\u2019 classification. All of the data were organized and analyzed using SPSS version 17 (IBM Corporation, USA).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 163 cases of cleft lip and palate deformities were studied, of which 59.5% were male and 40.5% were female. Smith modification of the Kernahan \u2018Y\u2019 classification completely described the cleft deformities in 93.9% of patients. However, while the Kernahan \u2018Y\u2019 classification represented the submucous cleft palate, it did not describe its different anatomical subtypes in 6.13% of patients. The revised Smith-modified Kernahan \u2018Y\u2019 classification completely described the cleft deformities of the entire study population, including the different submucous cleft palate patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Smith alphanumeric modification of the Kernahan \u2018Y\u2019 classification of cleft lip and palate came into existence after a long search and a series of modifications over the past century. This classification system describes the cleft region, site of the cleft, degree of the cleft, rare and asymmetrical clefts, and are computer database friendly. However, this classification did not describe the different anatomical subtypes of submucous cleft palate that have variable relationships with velopharyngeal insufficiency.<\/jats:p>\n
