Unilateral Incomplete Cleft Lip Repair
This baby boy presented to our hospital with a unilateral incomplete cleft lip deformity. It was explained to his parents that this was the mildest form of cleft deformity. They were further informed that this could be repaired with complete restoration of lip form.
Our hospital is a specialty center for the treatment of cleft lip and palate deformities. We have been rehabilitating patients with these deformities for over 30 years now. We have many surgical innovations in cleft surgery to our credit
He underwent surgical repair of his unilateral incomplete cleft lip deformity at the age of 3-1/2 months. This was a very mild form of the cleft lip deformity. A C-flap was first raised, which would enable reconstruction of the nasal sill.
This was followed by meticulous reapproximation of the cleft lip with a three layer closure. There was good recreation of the vermillion border. The orbicularis oris, subcutaneous tissue and skin had been perfectly aligned under the magnification of a surgical loupe.
They were instructed that even the minimal scarring would gradually fade away as the patient grew older.
