Abstract
The Mashhad University of Medical Sciences and the Sheikh Hospital in
Mashhad sponsored a Cleft Lip and Palate Workshop 30 April - 1 May
2009. During the Workshop, 6 surgical cases were performed and
televised live to the audience attending the conference. Two of those
cases were unilateral cleft lip repairs. The surgical technique used to
repair these patients by the primary author (JGM) is a hybrid
technique. It has evolved over the last decade as a result of prior
surgical literature as well as first hand observation of various
surgical colleagues. The following manuscript describes the surgical
technique used at the Cleft Workshop in a step-wise or atlas-like
fashion. The technique portion of the paper describes the repair of the
unilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity in roughly the order the first
author typically performs the procedure. More importantly, the final
section of the paper details the principles that form the foundation
for the techniques described.
