Abstract
|
|
|
In the cleft lip patients, several anatomical, functional and embryological deformities in the midface are usually present. Among them, deformities of the ala, septal cartilage and maxillary hypoplasia are more prominent according to its degree of deformity. The complex nasal deformity associated with unilateral cleft lip is frequently exasperating as a surgical problem to those who attempt a primary or secondary correction.
Numerous procedures were advocated for the correction of nasal deformity- but with general dissatisfaction of the results, it became obvious that no one procedure is the ideal one.
Thomson presented a three-phase correction technique for the residual unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity in 1985. The authors used this procedure principally and. added other procedures, such as alar cartilage repositioning by suture fixation techique, conchal cartilage graft and Z-plasty on lateral nasal vestibule. In both primary and secondary correction, the authors got a good result, so we present our techniques and cases with a review of literatures.
