    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Craniofacial Surgery

    Background:

    • The triangular flap method for cleft lip repair has been used for twenty years.
    • Standardizing flap length in this technique presents inherent difficulties.
    • Achieving consistent, accurate surgical results remains a challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a standardized method for cleft lip repair using the triangular flap technique.
    • To overcome the challenge of ensuring accurate flap length in cleft lip surgery.
    • To introduce a novel cleft lip pattern for improved surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A mathematical approach was employed to solve the standardization problem.
    • A specific 60-degree tip angle was utilized in the triangular flap design.
    • A new cleft lip pattern was designed to facilitate accurate measurements and execution.

    Main Results:

    • The mathematical solution successfully standardized the triangular flap method.
    • The designed cleft lip pattern ensures an accurate and reproducible end result.
    • The method addresses the inherent difficulty in achieving precise flap length.

    Conclusions:

    • A mathematical solution and a specialized pattern can standardize the triangular flap method for cleft lip repair.
    • This approach facilitates consistent and accurate surgical outcomes.
    • The technique offers a reliable method for cleft lip reconstruction.
