Single Stage Versus Multiple Staged Repair of Nasal & Alveolar Deformities in Patients With Cleft Lip and Palate

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Cleft lip and palate patients are commonly seen among maxillofacial patients. Patients with cleft lip and palate have evident cosmetic nasal deformities. The interrupted insertion of orbicularis oris muscle into the columella on the noncleft side forces the premaxilla, columella and caudal nasal septum towards that side. At the same time, as the orbicularis oris inserts into the alar base on the cleft side, the base is pulled laterally, inferiorly and posteriorly. The malformed lower lateral cartilage on the side of the cleft contributes majorly to the deformity of the nasal tip, causing it to be more blunt. A shorter medial crus and longer lateral crus on the cleft side results in a horizontally wider and displaced nostril on the cleft side. In addition, those patients have alveolar bone defect which results in both cosmetic and dental problems. Repair of the deformed nose along with the reconstruction of the alveolar defect may have an advantage over the staged repair in:- decrease the surgical burden on the patient , correction of the facial asymmetry by redeeming the maxillary bony support , peri-alar augmentation and accordingly obtaining faster and better socio-cosmetic benefit .
