Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of a modified technique for repairing secondary defect of unilateral cleft lip. METHODS: The incision line was designed along the oral-nasal contour line. The lateral crus of nasal alar were rotated and repositioned in order to reconstruct the nasal sill and base. V-Y plasty was performed with a muco-cartilage flap inside the nasal cavity to reset the alar cartilage backwards and correct the nasal deformity. RESULTS: Satisfactory results were achieved in all 69 patients with this modified technique. The post-operative scar was inconspicuous. CONCLUSIONS: This modified technique with advantages of contour line incision and alar cartilage backward re-reposition is a good option for the repair of secondary defect of unilateral cleft lip.
