Abstract:
Congenital median cleft lip caused by all kinds of reasons is the most basic presentation of facial median cleft. Although a wide array of options is available, the technique employed will largely depend on the surgeon preference and experience, and lack of uniform standards. The basic surgical treatments of midline cleft lip and nose deformities include exposure of abnormal anatomy, repair soft tissue and skin, anatomic approximation of cartilaginous elements, orbicularis oris muscle repair and craniofacial osteotomy. However, there is still no common classification system to stratify the wide variations of midline cleft lip and nasal deformity, which is important to formulate specific surgical method for different types. This article summarized various classifications, recommended to use the Kolker’s classification by which the treatment options were summarized and proposed research prospects to provide ideas for further study.
