Objective To validate a method of primary anatomic alar repositioning using a “limited open rhinoplasty” approach, along with cleft lip repair, without presurgical orthopedics. Methods The cleft lip deformities were repaired using a modified Tennison technique, and primary muscle union and gingivoperiosteoplasty were achieved in all cases. The alar cartilages were visualized using an inverted “U” incision on the cleft side and a rim incision on the noncleft side, without joining the two with a transcolumellar incision. The domes of the cartilages were approximated by a single horizontal mattress suture. Patients Thirty-five patients were operated on by this technique between March 1999 and February 2004. The patients ranged in age from 4 to 36 months (mean, 6 months). The follow-up ranged from 4 months to 4.5 years (mean, 18 months). Results Overall, the results for nasal shape and symmetry have been extremely good. Conclusions The technique used here provides an exposure just short of an “open” rhinoplasty without scarring the columella or nasal tip. Arch alignment and a symmetric and stable bony platform are generally achieved by 2 to 3 months after the surgery. In severe cases of complete clefts, we have observed an absolute increase in alar arch length as a result of tissue stretch.

ABSTRACTNasoalveolar molding (NAM) can be done effectively to reshape the nasal cartilage and mold the maxillary dentoalveolar arch before surgical cleft lip repair and primary rhinoplasty. Presurgical NAM helps as an adjunct procedure to enhance the esthetic and functional outcome of the surgical procedures. We have developed a modified NAM device to suit to the needs of the patients coming from distant places for the treatment. This device helps in reducing the number of frequent visits the patient needs to take to the craniofacial center. The purpose of this presentation is to report this treatment technique and discuss its application.

Latar belakang: Celah bibir dengan atau tanpa celah lelangit merupakan abnormalitas perkembangan kraniofasial yang paling sering terjadi. Kelainan ini bisa unilateral atau bilateral, dan mungkin disertai dengan anomali kongenital lain. Celah bibir bilateral berpotensi mengubah struktur dan bentuk wajah serta menyebabkan gangguan dalam perkembangan makan, bicara, gigi geligi, dan kosmetik. Celah bibir selalu disertai dengan deformitas hidung, termasuk pada kasus celah bibir inkomplit. Mulliken adalah pionir yang melakukan perbaikan celah bibir bilateral dan rinoplasti primer dalam satu tahap operasi. Tujuan: Mengetahui keberhasilan operasi celah bibir inkomplit bilateral dan rinoplasti primer dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken. Laporan kasus: Dilaporkan satu kasus celah bibir inkomplit bilateral pada anak laki-laki usia 7 bulan yang ditatalaksana dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken. Metode: Telaah literatur berbasis bukti mengenai perbaikan celah bibir inkomplit bilateral dan rinoplasti primer dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken melalui database Cochrane library, Pubmed Medline, dan hand searching. Hasil: Pertumbuhan nasal tip projection, nasal width, columellar length, upper lip height, cutaneous lip height, dan vermilion-mucosal height mendekati nilai normal. Kesimpulan: Prosedur celah bibir inkomplit bilateral disertai rinoplasti primer dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken memberikan hasil yang baik. Introduction: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate is the most common disorder of craniofacial development. This disorder could be occurred unilaterally or bilaterally, and sometimes were also accompanied by other type of congenital disorders. Bilateral cleft lip potentially could change the face structure and shape, causing interference in eating, speech, dental development, and aesthetics. Cleft lip always occurred with nasal deformity, even in incomplete cleft lip. Mulliken is a pioneer in performing a repair in bilateral cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty altogether at the same time. Purpose: To find out the result of surgery procedure in bilateral incomplete cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty using Mulliken modification technique. Case report: A bilateral incomplete cleft lip case in a 7 months old boy and managed by Mulliken modification technique. Method: Evidence based literature study of bilateral incomplete cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty with Mulliken modification technique through Cochrane library, Pubmed Medline, and hand searching. Result: The growth of nasal tip projection, nasal width, collumellar length, upper lip height, cutaneus lip height, and vermilion mucous height were close to normal size. Conclusion: Procedure of bilateral incomplete cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty repair using Mulliken modification technique delivered a good outcome.

Cleft lip is one of the most common congenital anomalies that present to plastic surgeons. Care involves a multidisciplinary approach to address both aesthetic and functional needs. This review covers embryology, epidemiology, classification, and anatomy. It also provides a more in-depth description of treatment for unilateral, bilateral, and minor form clefts. Given the spectrum of presentation and the multiple tissue types involved, the general principles of reconstructive surgery are used as the framework for this review. This review contains 16 figures, 3 tables, and 119 references. Keywords: cheiloplasty, cleft lip, Fisher repair, microform cleft lip, Millard repair, orbicularis muscle, primary rhinoplasty, septoplasty, Tennison-Randall repair
