Abstract
|
|
|
Almost all patients with a cleft lip have varying degree of nasal deformities which sometimes completely dominate their feature and cause some functional problems.
No matter how varied the deformities, the major deformities resulted from any method of primary lip repair are not only malrotated but also displaced alar pyriform aperture in involved side.
Numerous methods for correction of secondary cleft lip nose deformities have been introduced and the list is growing every year, but there was no standardized procedure with satisfactory results.
The authcr performed alar cartilage reposition with or without onlay graft and septoplasty with augmentation of hypoplastic pyriform aperture in affected side by using autogenous conchal cartilage and we experienced satisfactory results in 43 patients who had secondary unilateral cleft lip nose deformity.
