Summary
Secondary cleft rhinoplasty is complex, needing tailored techniques for aberrant anatomy. This review covers classic approaches, nasal subunit strategies, presurgical options, and patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Otolaryngology
- Craniofacial Surgery
Background:
- Secondary cleft rhinoplasty addresses residual nasal deformities after primary cleft lip repair.
- Aberrant anatomy in cleft lip nasal deformity presents unique surgical challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review established techniques and strategies for secondary cleft rhinoplasty.
- To discuss presurgical interventions and patient-reported outcomes in cleft nasal reconstruction.
Main Methods:
- Review of classically described surgical approaches in cleft rhinoplasty.
- Discussion of strategies for addressing individual nasal subunits.
- Consideration of presurgical adjuncts and interventions before skeletal maturity.
Main Results:
- Cleft rhinoplasty requires adapting techniques to patient-specific aberrant anatomy.
- Various surgical strategies exist for nasal subunit reconstruction.
- Presurgical interventions and outcome measures are crucial considerations.
Conclusions:
- Successful secondary cleft rhinoplasty necessitates a deep understanding of cleft anatomy and flexible application of surgical techniques.
- Comprehensive management includes presurgical planning and evaluation of patient-reported outcomes.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
2.3K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway
449
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Epistaxis
171
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...
