Abstract

|
|
We have found occasionally a minimal cleft lip defrmity (congenital scar) which has a vertical grooving in the upper lip with a depression of the skin and a lack of continuity of the lateral and medial muscle mass. The minimal cleft also has a slightly wide nostril floor and a vermilion notching. For such a minor degree of the cleft there used to be several opinions about the operative method. If we can repair this minor upper lip deformity without making upper lip skin incision, this method indeed may be perfect answer for this patient.
I have treated 11 cases of minimal cleft lip deformity without making a skin incision. I undermined the depressed skin and gathered it into an elevated column and inserted a temporal fascial graft to maintain the skin pocket space. The grafted temporal fascial has maintained the elevated column very well even after about 1 year. I have presented the preliminary operative result of this technique without making skin incision for the correction of minimal cleft lip deformity.
