Management of the Nasal Deformity in the Unilateral Cleft of the Lip and Nose

© The Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India 2020..

Cleft rhinoplasty is a demanding, technique-sensitive procedure. Part art, part science; it poses several probing questions to the surgeon. The unilateral cleft nasal deformity is a distinct entity because the pursuit of symmetry in the unilateral cleft nose makes the repair much more challenging. The advent of nasoalveolar moulding, the gaining popularity of primary (early) nasal repair and greater refinements in secondary (definitive) rhinoplasty techniques have contributed to better nasal results in unilateral cleft repair. Yet, some obstacles remain. This paper aims to discuss the anatomy of the unilateral cleft nose, enumerate aims and objectives of repair at every stage, and to demonstrate the evolution and varied rationale of management of nasal deformities in the unilateral cleft lip and nose.
