Abstract
Purpose:
The aim of this study was to explore a new method for transverse facial cleft correction to improve dynamic outcome.
Methods:
In accordance with the traditional technique, we used another Z-plasty to reconstruct a commissure to obtain cosmetic outcome.
Result:
The contour of the baby's face was repaired, which is better than that achieved by the traditional technique.
Conclusions:
Z-plasty is an ideal technique for transverse facial cleft correction.
