Abstract:
A new method of cleft lip repair, based on anatomical research of levator septi nasi and a peach-shaped musculocutaneous flap has been designed. The special features of this method are: 1. A small peach-shaped musculocutaneous flap is used as Millard's "c" flap, 2. all skin incisions are made on the edge of the cleft, 3. rotation-advancement repair is applied in the muscle layer. 32 patients have been followed for 6 years after the operation.
