Abstract:

Unilateral microform cleft lip involves mild but extensive abnormalities among cutaneous, muscular, and cartilaginous tissues in the nasolabial region. To date, no standardized protocol is available for microform cleft lip ma-nagement. Diversified surgical techniques can be adopted for each single deformity feature, and randomness is common during surgeons’ decision-making. Individualized management features a random combination of surgical techniques but requires a precise workflow. Basing on a comprehensive review of options for critical surgical maneuvers, we propose re-commendations for the establishment of standardized management philosophy for unilateral microform cleft lip.

Key words: microform cleft lip, individualized management, surgical planning, standardization
