Surgical Repair of a Very Wide Unilateral Cleft Lip Deformity
This little boy was born with a very wide unilateral cleft lip and palate deformity. His parents brought him to our hospital for repair of his unilateral cleft lip and palate deformity. He underwent cleft lip repair at the age of 3-1/2 months.
A C-flap was first raised to rebuild the floor of the nose and the nasal sill. This was followed by a meticulous reapproximation of the cleft lip with a three layer closure. The orbicularis oris, subcutaneous tissue and skin were perfectly aligned under the magnification of a surgical loupe.
There was very good esthetic and functional correction of his cleft lip defect following surgery. There was also very minimal scarring evident when sutures were removed on the seventh postoperative day. His parents were instructed to return when he was 10 months old for cleft palate repair.
