  • Title: [Primary correction of lip and nose abnormalities in complete unilateral cleft. 1: Lip reconstruction].
    Author: Mommaerts MY.
    Journal: Acta Stomatol Belg; 1993 Dec; 90(4):235-49. PubMed ID: 8191962.
    Abstract:
    This first part of an article on primary repair of the unilateral cleft lip and nose is dealing with the lip deformity. A differentiated labial and nasal muscle reconstruction is as important as an esthetic skin closure. A symmetrical bone platform and a limited tissue defect are ideal conditions for the definitive lip repair. The combination of a lip/nose adhesion and a growth guidance plate is able to create these conditions in a period of four months.
