Abstract

BackgroundThe nasal floor and intraoral lining reconstruction of unilateral complete cleft of lip and primary palate has sparsely been reported. Solution: This article combines the previously-described C-flap mucosal flap and inferior turbinate flap with the newly-described lateral nasal mucosal flap for the mucosal repair of this uncommon subtype of deformity. Valuable practical strategies are offered to optimize the surgical execution within a limited pediatric intranasal surgical access, targeting to minimize tissue trauma and bleeding.
