  • Title: Primary bilateral two-stage cleft lip/nose repair: part II.
    Author: Xu H, Salyer KE, Genecov ER.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2009 Sep; 20 Suppl 2():1927-33. PubMed ID: 19816376.
    Abstract:
    The Dallas surgical protocol for primary bilateral cleft lip/nose repair depends on the anatomy of the deformity. In cases of asymmetric bilateral clefts, an extremely small prolabium (<6 mm in vertical high) or a displaced premaxilla, a 2-stage lip repair was performed. At the same time, assessment of the tissue available for the columella determined the approach to the nose. In this part, the technique of 2-stage lip/nose repair of the bilateral cleft lip and palate is reviewed, and the long-term outcomes are presented.
