Modified endonasal approach for premaxillary repositioning in the patient with bilateral cleft lip - a review of technique

ConclusionsEndonasal osteotomy is a predictable way to reposition the bilateral cleft premaxilla while maintaining blood supply and preventing gingival scarring. This technique is minimally invasive and aids in anatomic repositioning for the orthodontic management of patients with complex bilateral cleft lip/palate. Further studies are needed to evaluate the stability of this procedure and considerations of simultaneous bone grafting.
