Abstract
|
|
|
For many years a wide variety of surgical techniques for closure of cleft lip has been used. Still many surgeons prefer the Millard¡¯s rotation-advancement lip repair because the surgical scar is masked in the philtral crest and the nostril floor, and it improves the relationship of the alar base of the cleft side, producing harmonious symmetry of the nostril and the nostril sill. In addition, it uses and preserves the lip anatomy, returning lip tissue into its normal position, minimizing the amount of tissue that is discarded, and reconstructing the orbicular oris muscle. One of the major disadvantages of this procedure is the lack of accurate measurements. The object of this study is to help in the cleft lip surgery with investing its features and design.
