nasal tip skin may also affect the outcome after primary cleft rhinoplasty and should be considered during surgical planning. The soft tissue characteristics of each sub­unit of the nasal tip are different, for example, the skin of the alar lobule forms a semirigid unit that maintains the graceful curve of the alar rim.
The Nasal Columella
The nasal columella is dened as the most anterior portion of the nasal septum and located between the two nostrils linking the nasal tip to the nasal base. It is a single midline structure composed of cartilage and skin and includes six components: the caudal septum, medial crura, columellar skin, membranous septum, anterior nasal spine, and depressor septi nasi muscle (Fig.1.19).

Fig. 1.19 Nasal columella structural framework diagram
This structure in combination with the caudal septum provides support and pro­jection to the nasal tip playing a functional role in nostril patency and breathing.
The nasal columella is composed of the following main structures:
Cartilaginous Framework
It is represented by the medial crus of the alar cartilage and the caudal septum. Structural support works in combination with ligamentous structures between the medial crura and caudal septum through the membranous septum and attachments between both medial crura and caudal septum.
16
P. Rossell-Perry
The medial crus is the inner portion of the alar cartilage and is situated perpen­dicularly to the septal nasal cartilage. The lower segment, 5mm in length, courses laterally and often posteriorly and is called the footplate.
The caudal septum is attached through ligaments with the medial crura forming the central support of the nasal columella. Its most anterior section is membranous.
This structural support of the nasal tip frequently deviates and displaces off the nasal spine in unilateral cleft lips, and its correction is an essential component of the primary and secondary cleft rhinoplasty.
Overlaying Soft Tissues
The soft tissue components of the nasal columella include the skin, muscles, nerves, and vascular tissues.
The skin of the lateral side of the columella is xed, thinner, less sebaceous, and tightly attached to medial crura connecting with the vestibular skin internally.
The anterior side of the medial crus is covered by mobile skin and subcutaneous tissue. There is an important muscular component in this area: the depressor septi nasi. This muscle is located between the caudal end of the cartilaginous septum and the medial crura.
It connects the incisive fossa of the maxilla to the nasal septum of the nose. This muscle draws the ala of the nose downward, reducing the size of the nostrils (Fig.1.19).
The columella follows the direction of the caudal septum and explains its posi­tion in patient with unilateral cleft lip in whom the columella deviates toward the cleft side. Another important application is related to the bilateral cleft lips in which the columella is hidden into the nasal tip because of the malposition of the alar car­tilages; in fact, the columella is not short and is only displaced. Reposition of these structures using an adequate surgical technique may allow us to repair the columella.
The Nasal Vestibule
The nasal vestibule represents the most anterior section of the nasal cavity and rep­resents an important functional area. It is located between the two nasal valves: external (nostrils) and internal (limited medially by the caudal septum, laterally by the limen nasi and inferiorly by the head of the lower turbinate and nasal sill) [11] (Fig.1.20).
The nasal vestibule is the narrowest portion of the nasal cavities, and any altera­tion that reduces the lumen (such as scar contractures) is bound to have a great impact on airow. It is a specialized respiratory organ limited laterally by the ala, medially by the caudal septum and columella, and superiorly by the limen nasi (or limen vestibuli), and its inferior limitation is the nostril.
The area of the internal nasal valve should be preserved during primary cleft rhinoplasty in order to prevent functional disorders.
The limen nasi is an important structure of the nasal vestibule and represents the junction between the upper and lower lateral cartilages (scroll region). It is the place where the intercartilaginous incision is made to access the nasal dorsum and also performed during the rotational composite ap and VYZ techniques of primary cleft

rhinoplasty. This structure separates the vestibule from the nasal cavity and repre­sents the change from the vestibular skin to the respiratory epithelium of the nasal cavity.
This area between the upper lateral and lower lateral cartilages is a cul-de-sac, known as the infundibulum or diverticulum. It has a distortion in cleft lip patients and requires reposition of the lower cartilage over the upper cartilage (mucocutane­ous junction). The nasal vestibule is enclosed by the nasal cartilages and lined by skin (hair-bearing, sebaceous, and sweat glands) until reaching the marginal line (caudal border of the lower lateral cartilage). This is a keratinized stratied squa­mous epithelium.
Above the marginal line until the limen nasi, the lower lateral cartilage is covered by a transitional epithelium which is a thinning of the stratied epithelium. The dif­ference between these two linings is easily identied because they have differ­ent colors.
Below the marginal border (caudal border of lower lateral cartilage), the color is the same as the color of the skin of the face and above the marginal border until the limen nasi the area is reddish because of the transition of the epithelium (Fig.1.21).
This anatomical reference is very important to locate the place of marginal inci­sion used for the nasal approach during rhinoplasty and the surgical techniques used for primary cleft rhinoplasty used by the author.
Due to functional nature, the nasal vestibule area is severely affected by scar contractures and synechia which can cause breathing disorders.
Recurrence of the nasal deformity after primary cleft rhinoplasty may be explained by scar contracture of the nasal vestibule lining and support the success of the surgical techniques based on vestibular lengthening, such as Potter.
The author developed a vestibular lengthening method using a combination of V-Y advancement ap (Potter) with a lateral Z plasty (Berkeley) in a similar form as the presurgical orthopedic (NAM) that temporarily expands the nasal vestibule and named it as “the surgical nasoalveolar molding” [1214].

The development of scars in this functional area may increase the risk of scar contractures; therefore, postoperative use of nasal conformers is mandatory for at least 6months.
The Nasal Septum
This bony and cartilaginous structure is covered by nasal mucosa located in the midline separating the right and left nostrils, extending from the nares to the choanae.
It provides support to the columella, nasal tip, vault, and mucosa inuencing nasal airow.
Bony-Cartilaginous Framework (Fig.1.22)
The framework of the nasal septum is composed of four parts: septal cartilage, per­pendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, vomer, and maxillary crest. Minor contribu­tions are made by palatine, nasal, and frontal bones [15].
The septal cartilage (“quadrangular cartilage”) is a hyaline type and articulated with bones and cartilaginous structures of the nose, posteriorly with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone (posterosuperiorly) and the vomer (posteroinferiorly).
Its inferior margin joins the nasal crest and the anterior nasal spine of the max­illa. The maxillary crest has a maxilla component (anteriorly) and a palatal compo­nent (posteriorly). The anterosuperior border of the septal cartilage is articulated with the two triangular upper lateral cartilages. This articulation forms an angle between 10° and 15° which represents anteriorly the angle of the internal nasal valve, an important functional structure of the nose [16].
The anterior portion of the caudal septum articulates with the nasal columella through the membranous septum.

The area between the nasal bone, septal cartilage, bony septum, and upper lateral cartilages which is rmly connected by brous tissue is the keystone area, a critical zone for maintaining the stability of the nasal dorsum.
The vomer is an unpaired bone located in the midline and articulated with the septal cartilage, maxilla, palatine, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones. It has an important relation with the premaxilla. This bone is also known as incisive or intermaxillary bone (Goethe’s bone because of his description in 1784) and represents the primary palate [17].
The junction between the vomer and premaxilla (vomero-premaxillary suture) is an important facial growth site, and the surgical procedures involving this area were found to inhibit of maxillary growth. This area should be preserved, especially dur­ing premaxilla setback procedures [17].
Overlying Mucosa
The nasal septum is covered with a mucosal layer that warms air passing through the nasal cavity.
Nasal septum deviation is a common disorder observed in unilateral cleft lip and palate and affects the nasal physiology reducing the airow and causing congestion

and difculty breathing in these patients. This structure often shows convexity toward the cleft side, and the direction of the deviation is toward the noncleft side. The nasal columella follows the deviation of the caudal septum portion.
Surgical correction of its caudal portion is performed during the primary cleft rhinoplasty.
Internal Lateral Wall
The lateral wall of the nasal cavity is composed of curved shelves of bone known as the turbinates. They are a ngerlike and project into the nasal cavity creating path­ways for the air to ow called meatus. There are three pairs of turbinates and four pairs of meatuses (Figs.1.4 and 1.23).
The function of the turbinate is to increase the surface area of nasal mucosa and the contact with the inspired air which is heated and humidied.
They also disrupt the laminar ow of the air, making it slow and turbulent.
The three turbinates are superior, middle, and inferior.
The inferior turbinate is the largest and has immune functions because it is the rst to come in contact with the outside air. Additionally, it is enlarged in unilateral cleft lip patients [18].
The four meatuses are inferior (between the inferior turbinate and nasal oor), middle (between the inferior and middle turbinates), superior (between the middle and superior turbinate), and the sphenoethmoidal recess (located superiorly and posteriorly to the upper turbinate).
The lateral wall also contains the following openings which drain a variety of structures as follows: sphenoid sinus, ethmoidal air cells, maxillary sinus, frontal sinus, and nasolacrimal duct.

Bony Framework (Fig.1.4)
The bone structure of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity consists of the frontal pro­cess of the maxilla, lacrimal region, the ethmoid bone, perpendicular section of the palatine bone, and medial pterygoid plate of the sphenoid.
The ethmoid bone is located at the midline of the anterior cranial fossa and forms also the roof of the nasal cavity and the medial wall of the orbits.
The cribriform plate forms the roof of the nasal cavity and contains small perfo­rations allowing olfactory nerve bers to cross.
Laterally, two small cuboidal bone structures are located between the orbits and the nasal cavity. These are the ethmoidal labyrinths which include the eth­moidal sinus and cells. The sphenopalatine foramen (a structure between sphe­noid and palatine bones) is located at the level of the superior meatus. This foramen communicates the nasal cavity and the pterygopalatine fossa. The sphe­nopalatine artery, nasopalatine, and superior nasal nerves passed through this region.
Overlying Mucosa
The nasal mucosa covering the lateral wall and turbinates contains many blood ves­sels. This mucosa has respiratory epithelium, which consists of pseudostratied cili­ated columnar cells with goblet cells. The inferior turbinate is exclusively covered with a pseudostratied ciliated and not ciliated columnar epithelium with more gob­let cells on its lateral side.
This structure may shrink or swell in response to the quality of the inspired air.
Septal deviation can be associated with turbinate hyperplasia leading to nasal obstruction in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate [18, 19].
The Nasal Floor
The nasal cavity is limited by the following structures (Figs.1.24 and 1.25):
• Roof: It is the olfactory area formed by nasal, frontal, sphenoid, and ethmoid
bones covered by respiratory mucosa.
• Medial wall: It is represented by the nasal septum. It is formed by perpendicular
plate of ethmoid, vomer, and septal cartilage.
• Lateral wall: This is formed by the maxilla, ethmoid, and the palatine bones. It
includes the turbinates and meatuses.
• Floor: The skeletal framework is formed by the maxilla and palatine bones.
Four sections can be clearly identied in the nasal oor. Anterior (vestibular): This section corresponds to the vestibular nasal oor
(nasal sill). Primary palate (premaxilla): This is the most anterior portion of the palate and
includes the premaxilla bone which bears the incisor teeth. Close to the junction
with the palatine process of the maxilla is the incisive foramen which transmits
branches of the sphenopalatine artery and the nasopalatine nerve. Secondary palate (hard palate): The hard palate includes the anterior two-thirds of
the palate, and it is composed by the palatine processes of the maxilla and the
horizontal plates of the palatine bones.

Soft palate: It represents the posterior third of the palate, and this is the functional
part of the nasal oor and appears during velopharyngeal closure.
The nasal oor is absent in the complete cleft lip and palate (Veau III and IV types), and it is repaired depending on the surgical protocol used (Table 1.1) (Figs.1.26 and 1.27).
The author’s protocol is based on cleft lip repair at 3–6months of age and the whole palate repair at 9–12 months of age. Later the primary palate section is repaired during alveolar bone grafting during the mixed dentition period [20].
Two-stage hard palate delayed closure (Gothenburg protocol) involves closing the soft palate section rst and then the hard palate. Primary palate section is closed
