Lateral Crural Reinforcement in Secondary Cleft Lip Nasal Deformity Through a Combined Lateral Crural Turn-over Flap and Strut Graft
Conclusions: The lateral crural turnover flap with sandwiched strut graft is a useful technique for reinforcing, repositioning, and reshaping the lower lateral cartilage in cleft lip patients with hyperconcave lateral crus and hypoplastic pyriform margin. Combined with other techniques, the nostril is increased in height, decreased in width, and thus satisfactory symmetry is obtained.
