Background:

Cleft lip repair requires precise anatomical understanding for optimal outcomes.
Restoring normal facial musculature is crucial for function and development.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a primary cleft lip closure technique.
To emphasize the importance of anatomical restoration for functional results.

Main Methods:

Detailed description of a surgical technique for primary cleft lip closure.
Emphasis on anatomical principles of facial musculature reconstruction.

Main Results:

The described technique aims for anatomical normality of facial muscles.
Expected outcome is the encouragement of normal function and development post-repair.

Conclusions:

A comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy is key to successful primary cleft lip repair.
This technique facilitates the restoration of normal muscle function and promotes healthy facial development.
