The use of an inferior pennant flap during unilateral cleft lip repair improves lip height symmetry

摘要

BackgroundIn order to improve the rotation of Cupid’s bow and achieve sufficient vertical lip height, several variations of the Millard rotation-advancement have incorporated a small laterally-based triangular flap above the cutaneous roll. This study uses three-dimensional photogrammetry to evaluate the outcomes of unilateral cleft lip repairs performed with and without pennant flaps.
