N2 - PURPOSE: Oral and maxillofacial surgeons use different approaches to repair the nasal deformity of patients with a cleft lip deformity, differing in technique and timing. The aim of this longitudinal study was to analyze a new surgical technique to treat the cleft nasal deformity at 4 to 6 weeks of life using a microscope.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-seven newborn patients with a cleft lip deformity were treated by primary repair of the nasal deformity using a microscope at 4 to 6 weeks of life. The procedure includes a columellar incision, alar cartilage plication sutures according to Daniel (Plast Reconstr Surg 103:1491, 1999), and trans-columellar sutures. All patients were photographed at specific time points up to 1 year after surgery. Established angles and distances were analyzed and compared with normal values of age-matched children by Farkas (Anthropometry of the Head and Face [ed 2]. New York: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 1994).RESULTS: All parameters improved through surgery and showed stable values at follow-up assessments. Almost ideal values concerning symmetry, as indicated by columellar deviation and nostril comparison, were obtained. Measurements of nasal morphology were similar to established norm values.CONCLUSION: The authors recommend the early treatment of cleft nasal deformity using microscopic surgery because it shows stable and symmetrical results at least up to 1 year after surgery. Clinical observations up to adolescence suggest no growth disturbance or deterioration of nasal shape.
