  • Title: Correction of residual deformities of the lip and nose in repaired clefts of the primary palate (lip and alveolus).
    Author: Wilson LF.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 1985 Oct; 12(4):719-33. PubMed ID: 3905178.
    Abstract:
    Residual deformities of the lip and nose in individuals with repaired unilateral and bilateral clefts may very in severity depending on the state of the original defect, the care taken in the initial surgical procedure, the pattern of the patient's facial growth, and the effectiveness of interceptive orthodontic techniques. Because each patient has a unique combination of deformities, their surgical reconstruction usually requires the modification and combination of several surgical techniques. In this article, a summary of various reconstructive techniques is presented, beginning with an evaluation of secondary cleft defects.
