  • Title: Secondary repair of cleft lip nose deformity using subcutaneous pedicle flaps from the unaffected side.
    Author: Tamada I, Nakajima T, Ogata H, Onishi F.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 2005 Apr; 58(3):312-7. PubMed ID: 15780225.
    Abstract:
    We used three types of subcutaneous pedicle flaps harvested from the unaffected side of the nostril to repair postoperative nose deformity caused by primary cleft lip surgery. By moving the subcutaneous pedicle flap from a nearby tissue-rich area, it was possible to achieve a favourable symmetrical nasal contour for the narrowing of the nostril cavity, depression of the nostril floor and the columella deviation of the affected side. The method, we used here is technically simple. We believe this procedure is a method of choice for repairing small deformities of the nose occurring after primary or secondary cleft lip surgery.
