Background: Cleft lip and/or palate is the most common craniofacial congenital anomaly encountered by the plastic surgeon. Both reconstruction and outcome assessment are challenging. This study aimed to assess the outcome of unilateral cleft lip repair in the Surabaya CLP Center.Methods: All patients who underwent unilateral cleft lip repair in 2017 were included in the study. Those without complete photographs at minimally 52 weeks after surgery were excluded. The photographs of patients taken at least one-year post-surgery were assessed using a modified cleft lip evaluation profile (MCLEP) index. The data were then analyzed using statistical software.Results: There were 38 subjects included in the study. There was no significant difference in the final scores obtained based on completeness of the cleft lip and the presence of alveolar cleft. The total nose score was significantly better in the left side cleft (p = 0.002). When palate cleft was absent, the total lip score (p = 0.038), the total nose score (p = 0.008), and total score (p = 0.000) were also significantly better.Conclusions: The unilateral cleft lip repair in CLP Center Surabaya yielded good and symmetrically acceptable results. The study failed to observe the different outcomes of unilateral cleft lip repair based on completeness of the cleft lip and the presence of alveolar cleft. However, the unilateral cleft lip repair outcome was significantly better in the absence of palate cleft.

Background: Bilateral cheilorraphy has higher complexity compared to unilateral cheilorraphy. Anthropometric measurements provide nasolabial identification of the surgery result objectively. This study aims to assess the outcome of bilateral cheilorrhaphy with the Djohansjah technique at Surabaya CLP Center.Methods: 26 patients underwent bilateral cheilorrhaphy from January 1 to December 31, 2018 at the Surabaya CLP Center. Anthropometric measurements were performed on control photos one year post-surgery with GIMP application (GNU Image Manipulation Software) version 2.10.12 (www.gimp.org) to measure the cupid’s bow width ratio, hemilabial length ratio, nasal width ratio, and philtrum ridge length ratio. A statistical analysis was performed using Independent Sample t-Tes and Mann-Whitney Test.Results: An anthropometric size difference test based on preoperative condition was performed. No significant difference of the cupid’s bow width ratio, hemilabial length ratio, nasal width ratio, and philtrum ridge length ratio between the group of identical cleft lip and unidentical cleft lip with p > 0.05 was found. Likewise, there was no difference between the identical cleft alveolar and unidentical cleft alveolar, as well as the group with or without cleft palate.Conclusions: Symmetry of lips, nose, and philtrum was achieved with bilateral cheilorrhaphy with the Djohansjah technique at the Surabaya CLP Center and there was no significant difference in cupid's bow width ratio, hemilabial length ratio, nasal width ratio, and philtrum ridge length ratio on preoperative cleft condition.

Objective: To gain more insight into the assessment of “atypical” nasal and lip appearance outcomes compared to “typical” appearance outcomes after unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) repair, when judged by professionals, patients with repaired UCLP, and laypeople. Design: An online survey containing 3 series of photographs with various degrees of “typical” and “atypical” nasal and lip appearance outcomes after UCLP repair was sent to 30 professionals, 30 patients with repaired UCLP, and 50 laypeople in 2 countries. Participants were instructed to rank the photographs from excellent to poor based on overall appearance. Mean rank positions of photographs were analyzed and differences in mean rank score between “typical” and “atypical” results were assessed using a T-test. Agreement of ranking between the 3 groups was assessed with an analysis of variance analysis. Setting: Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc, Netherlands and Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston, USA. Patients: Photographs of 6- to 18-year-old patients with repaired UCLP. Results: “Atypical” appearance outcomes were ranked significantly less favorably (small nostril: P = 0.00; low vermillion border: P = 0.02; whistling deformity: P = 0.00) compared to “typical” outcomes. Difference between professionals, patients and laypeople in rank positioning the photographs was not statistically significant ( P = 0.89). Conclusions: Noses with a smaller nostril and lips containing a whistling deformity were perceived as poorer outcome compared to the “typical” results. Professionals, patients, and laypeople are in agreement when assessing these outcomes.

Objective: This study aimed to measure and analyze the outcome of primary unilateral cleft lip repair. Design: Observational cohort study. Setting: Surabaya Cleft Lip and Palate (CLP) Center, a major referral center for the Eastern part of Indonesia, affiliated with a tertiary center. Patients, Participants: From 69 patients who met the inclusion criteria, we excluded 31 patients who were more than 2 years of age and were operated on by junior residents under supervision. Interventions: We performed anthropometric measurements of the patients on photographs taken before, immediately after, and a year after the surgery. Main Outcome Measure(s): This study measured nasal width, vertical lip height, horizontal lip length, and philtral height ratios. Results: While nasal width and philtral height ratios decreased significantly ( P = .000 and P = .000, respectively) reaching symmetry immediately after surgery, the horizontal lip length, and vertical lip height ratios remained unchanged ( P = .862 and P = .981, respectively). A year after surgery, the nasal width and horizontal lip length ratios increased significantly ( P = .017 and P = .006, respectively), while philtral height and vertical lip height ratios remained unchanged ( P = .927 and P = .138, respectively). There was no difference in the ratios based on the initial size and completeness of the cleft. Conclusion: In Surabaya CLP Center, the symmetry of nasal width, philtral height, horizontal lip length, and vertical lip height were achieved by the unilateral cleft lip repair despite the initial size and completeness of the cleft.
