  • Title: Rhinoplasty for cleft and hemangioma-related nasal deformities.
    Author: Lee TS, Schwartz GM, Tatum SA.
    Journal: Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg; 2010 Dec; 18(6):526-35. PubMed ID: 20962645.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To provide a concise review of recent articles on rhinoplasty approaches for cleft nasal deformity and nasal hemangiomas published in 2008-2010. RECENT FINDINGS: Cleft nasal deformity rhinoplasty approaches have undergone further refinements as well as new development in techniques and surgical principles to minimize recurrent cleft nasal deformities. There is a paucity of studies addressing cleft septal deformity although there appears to be a greater emphasis on functional outcome in cleft rhinoplasty. Complications from primary cleft rhinoplasty and presurgical nasoalveolar molding were also reported. Similarly, nasal hemangioma rhinoplasty approaches have undergone further modifications with open rhinoplasty and subunit approaches gaining wider acceptance. SUMMARY: There are several new studies that compare different rhinoplasty techniques to determine which approaches offer superior surgical outcomes; however, there needs to be a greater acceptance of objective measurements when assessing surgical results to identify a uniform surgical protocol and technique for both cleft rhinoplasty and nasal hemangiomas.
