Surgical correction of unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity.
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery 1998 January
Fifty-five patients with unilateral cleft lip nasal deformities were operated on from March 1992 to June 1996. Thirty-one patients were male and 24 were female. Three patients were 2 to 5 years of age, 7 patients were 6 to 10 years old, 12 patients were 11 to 15 years old, 13 were 16 to 20 years old, and 20 were greater than 21 years of age. The average follow-up period was 16 months. Combined operative procedures, depending on the severity of the cleft lip nasal deformity, were the following: (1) a reverse-U incision and Z-plasty for a mild vestibular web, (2) a reverse-U incision and V-Y plasty for a moderate vestibular web, (3) open rhinoplasty incision combined with a reverse-U incision and V-Y plasty for severe flattening or buckling of the cleft lower lateral cartilage, (4) lower lateral cartilage suspension or repositioning with or without an onlay cartilage graft, (5) alar base advancement, (6) bone graft on the piriform aperture, (7) septoplasty and corrective rhinoplasty, and (8) columella lengthening with an auricular composite graft. A nasal splint was applied for 3 to 6 months in every patient to maintain the corrected nostril contour. Most patients were satisfied with their surgical results. We suggest that to achieve a good contour of the nose, bony and cartilaginous deformities should be corrected simultaneously with correction of the soft tissue.
