purposes, the complete form including a Simonart’s band is managed as a complete form; therefore, they may be considered a single type. Nasal deformity associated with a unilateral cleft lip correlates well with these three types of deformity.

The Microform Unilateral Cleft Lip Nose Deformity (Figs.5.10,
5.11, and5.12)
Microforms are characterized by minor deciencies in lip height (less than 3mm), and nose deformity is often associated even in the absence of an obvious cleft lip (a muscular cleft may exist without skin or mucosa deciencies). These nasal abnor­malities may vary in their presentation; however, they are mostly characterized by alar base and nostril asymmetry and medial crus foreshortened. Septal and skeletal deciencies are rare to be associated.

Incomplete Unilateral Cleft Lip Nose Deformity (Figs.5.13,
5.14, and5.15)
The spectrum of incomplete cleft lips may vary from microforms to extended incomplete clefts. Nose deformity usually correlates with the severity of an incom­plete cleft lip. Sometimes the parents are unaware of their minimal malformations in their children, especially when they have microforms. Based on the components

of the nose, we may describe the characteristics of incomplete unilateral cleft lips and their applications in surgical treatment.
Nasal oor The nasal oor has four sections as follows: nostril sill, primary palate (alveolus), secondary palate (hard palate), and soft palate. The nostril sill and pri­mary palate may be partially or not affected in this type of cleft lip.
Columella Even when the columellar component looks “short,” it is obliquely mal-
positioned and requires repositioning instead of lengthening. This concept is

opposed to the traditional Millard’s philosophy that promotes the lengthening of the columella using lip tissues.
Alar base Alar base distortion in incomplete cleft lips is characterized by alar base asymmetry with alar hooding. In addition, nostril asymmetry, inward buckling of the cleft side ala, and retrodisplacement of the cleft side alar dome may be observed. Therefore, the need for alar base repair is conditional on the severity of the incom­plete form.
Nasal tip Even in small deciencies of the lip, some abnormal changes can be observed, as follows: the tip of the nose may be deected and the dome at the cleft side is retrodisplaced resulting in decreased projection. The angle between the medial and lateral crura is obtuse, and there may be some associated bone de­ciency of the maxilla on the clef side.
Nasal septum The nasal septum often deviates but not to the same extent as the complete forms. The anterior nasal spine and the caudal septum are displaced to different extents to the noncleft side.
Alar cartilage An obtuse angle exists between the medial and lateral crura on the cleft side. In addition, inward buckling of the ala and retrodisplacement of the alar dome on the cleft side affect the form and extension of the nasal vestibule. It is important to mention that this structure may be congenital hypoplastic and may play an important role in the quality of surgical outcomes.

Nostril This component is asymmetric in comparison with the noncleft side. A
wider nostril is observed on the cleft side.
Maxilla The existence of a cleft may vary among patients with incomplete cleft
lips. Sometimes it exists as simple notch or as an alveolar cleft. Commonly, all of these variants have an aligned maxillary arch. It is not rare to observe the associa­tion between incomplete cleft lip and incomplete cleft palate.
Complete Unilateral Cleft Lip Nose Deformity (Figs.5.16, 5.17, and5.18)
This complex deformity involves distortion of the skeleton and soft tissues of the nose. The existence of a hypoplastic segment (cleft side) limits lip and nose recon­struction. Even when clear evidence exists regarding the hypoplasia of the lateral segment of the lip, there is not evident deciency of the cartilage structures of the nose; therefore, total reconstruction of the nose is possible despite of the severity of the cleft. Based on the nose components, we may describe characteristics of com­plete unilateral cleft lips and their applications to the surgical treatment. They include the following:
Grossly asymmetric nose Columella deviated toward the noncleft side Nostril wider and retrodisplaced on the cleft side Nostril margin buckles inward on the cleft side. This is because of bowing by the
internal vestibular web.
Maxilla deciency on the cleft side Posterolaterally displaced alar base and piriform aperture on cleft side Deviated caudal septum, premaxilla, and columella toward noncleft side

Nasal oor The nasal oor has four sections as follows (Figs.5.19):

(a) Nostril sill. This is the most anterior portion of the nasal oor and represents the
nasal vestibule oor; this is repaired primarily using the lateral and medial ele­ments of the cleft during lip repair and supported by the muscular reconstruc­tion. The presence of Simonart’s band is not relevant for reconstructive purposes, and it is usually resected during primary lip and nose repair.
(b) Primary palate (alveolus). This is the most anterior portion of the nasal skele-
ton. It is attached to the vomer (as the vomero premaxillary junction), the lower segment of the nasal segment. It is primarily repaired using the Oslo protocol [3]. A concern exists regarding the potential effect of the gingivoperiosteoplasty (GPP) on the growth of the maxilla, which is why it is not used in different protocols [4].
(c) Secondary palate (hard palate). It is represented by the posterior section of the
nasal skeleton and is composed of two bones: the upper maxilla (palatine pro­cess) and the palatine bone (horizontal plate). This section is repaired during the primary palatoplasty and depends on the type of protocol used.
(d) Secondary palate (soft palate). This portion includes the palatine muscles cov-
ered by mucosa, is functional, and creates the anterior part of velopharyngeal sphincter.
The primary and secondary palates are repaired depending on the protocol used, for example, the primary and hard palate are closed together rst using the Oslo protocol and the soft palate is closed rst using the Goteborg protocol.
All these elements in complete unilateral cleft lip and palates are absent and should be repaired during primary surgery through the lip and palate surgery.
Alar base The lateral element of the cleft is attached to the skeletal structure (pyri­form aperture of the maxilla). It should be released for proper alignment of alar bases during primary lip repair. Muscular repair is also important providing support for the nasal sill. Malposition of the alar base after primary cheilorhinoplasty is not related to a lack of skeletal support (a common misconception). In fact, this occurs because of a poor repair of the oral muscles.

Columella The concepts used for columellar repair are the same as those used for
incomplete cleft lip repair. The columella should be repositioned instead of length­ened. The medial crus and dome medial repositioning (independent of the technique used) allowed us to correct the columellar position.
The columella should not be elongated using lip tissues as Millard proposed. The distal portion of caudal septum can be corrected by muscular action when it is prop­erly done.
Nasal tip This structure is commonly affected in complete forms and to different degrees. Its distortion is related to maxillary collapse; however, maxilla correction is not necessary for nasal structure repositioning, and maxillary alignment occurs spontaneously as a consequence of nose and oral muscle reconstruction providing adequate support for the nose.
Nasal septum The nasal septum often deviates to different degrees and generates aesthetic and functional distortions of the nose. Even when some authors promote its primary correction as the key point of the primary cleft rhinoplasty, more studies are required to conrm its long-term effect in cleft lip patients.
Alar cartilage Between the medial and lateral crura on the cleft side, an obtuse angle exists depending on the severity of the nose deformity in unilateral cleft lips. Its role in the nasal vestibule determines the extent of the corrective surgery. The orthopedic nasoalveolar molding corrects the nasal vestibule but only temporarily which is why the primary surgery is always needed. The author creates the surgical nasal molding concept producing a surgical extension of the vestibule but without presurgical treatment.
Nostril This component is asymmetric in comparison with noncleft side, and wider
nostril is observed on the cleft side; therefore, the objective of the primary repair is to create symmetric nostrils.
Maxilla Sometimes the surgical repair of the lip is sufcient to produce an align-
ment of the maxillary segments independent of the width of the cleft or maxillary collapse. The author named this effect as the “surgical nasoalveolar molding” which is evidence of the lack of need for plates. In addition, there is a lack of evidence supporting the effect of orthopedic devices for nasal and maxillary molding, and probably the best therapeutic molding is the one produced by repaired muscu­lar action.

Surgical Protocol

Primary cleft rhinoplasty is an important step in cleft lip and palate reconstruction, and it is performed actually during the primary lip repair for all types of cleft lips; however, this complex deformity requires soft tissue and skeleton management at

different surgical times. Since the neonatal presurgical management to the second­ary rhinoplasty renement during the adulthood, the nose deformity associated with cleft lip requires different interventions from those of the interdisciplinary cleft team to achieve good functional and aesthetic outcomes. Management during the timeline of the patient’s life is presented in Table5.1. The presented protocol for primary unilateral cleft lip nose repair is indicated according to the type of unilateral cleft lip [5, 6].
