Here is one of our sweet cleft lip patients immediately before and after surgery while still asleep. ⁠
⁠
For my unilateral lip repairs, I favor use of all absorbable sutures and skin glue, so that no stitches need to be removed from the lip at the follow-up appointment. ⁠
⁠
Nasal stents were placed after this, and those do have one or two small sutures that are easy to remove in clinic.⁠

NSFW!

K wires used to fixate cartilage grafts — one of those things I’ve read about, but every surgeon I’ve spoken with with grey hairs has told me they aren’t a great idea.

This is what can happen. This wire is sticking out the tip of her nose. Thankfully, it is something she was able to have removed in clinic.

This gave her nose a chance to heal the small wound, and to let the foundation stabilize before undergoing another rhinoplasty.

"It's not a big deal to be able to breathe... but it really is a big deal. The left [nostril] especially works well."⁠
⁠
She has a history of previous surgery but had chronic problems breathing through her nose.⁠
⁠
Closed septorhinoplasty (*no incision* across the columella) was done. Key maneuvers included septal resection, spreader and caudal septal extension grafts, and tip sutures.⁠
⁠
This opened and strengthened her airway. She also had more dorsal support and definition. ⁠

Sagittal synostosis is when the growth plate along the midline of the top of the skull fuses prematurely.

As the brain continues to grow, but is restricted along this line, the back of the skull stays more narrow, as the front grows wider and more forward to compensate.

The back part of the skull also is shorter, and then can bulge at the back of the head with growth extending that direction as well.

The options for reconstruction include:
- strip craniectomy - removal of the affected suture - with helmet therapy afterwards
- cranial vault reconstruction - removal of either the front or back part of the cranium, splitting the bone, and rebuilding it with more space for the brain, in a more normal contour.

There are pros and cons to each option.

Before 4 months of age, generally speaking strip craniectomy is a good option to release the restriction on the brain's growth, and let the skull's volume and proportions expand more normally.

This child is seen at just 1 week, with immediate improvement seen in the skull's shape, and the child less colicky and irritable.

"I'm feeling better... 110% better.

I thought I had sleep apnea. My wife tells me my snoring went away... I'm just sleeping a lot better. Now I feel more rested and just breathing a lot better.

Slow process of trying to actually breathe correctly for the first time in my life, through my nose instead of through the mouth."

The smile says it all! Nearly 100% of our cleft patients have difficulty breathing.

Factors include the septum deviating away from the cleft towards the nostrils from the asymmetric pull of the orbicularis muscle and other soft tissue attachments seen with most repairs historically. Further back, the septum follows the bone deviating and collapsing towards the cleft.

Other considerations are weak and collapsed cartilage in the middle and lower thirds of the nose, and compensatory inferior turbinate hypertrophy.

Structural rhinoplasty was performed via an open approach, with spreader grafts, lower lateral cartilage repair (with reorientation of his previous surgical repair), and septal extension graft. Turbinate outfracture and ablation is used adjunctively based on palpation and exam after correcting the deviated septum.

Our cleft cuties with wider clefts are still normally able to be repaired in a single surgery, without a lip adhesion.

This may be done without taking skin from the columella as in some techniques. The backcut at the depth of the white roll seems to do well long term with the three dimensional crest of the white roll, rather than the flattening that can be seen in a typical Millard style repair as the straight scar contracts (or at least doesn’t grow as much as the surrounding tissue).

Also important is the adequate release of the muscle and reorientation of the fibers, and release of the alar base with lateral nasal wall reconstruction.

We saw him back today doing great at 1 week post-op, and can’t wait to watch him continue to thrive!⁠⁠

Swelling after secondary and tertiary cleft rhinoplasty is expected to last much longer than the usual 9-18 months.

The normal circulation has been disrupted several times, and expectations must be managed for patient and surgeon alike.

Thicker skin types also obscure some of the contours created, though this can be useful for more aggressive grafting to add more stability and support of the airway and for tip augmentation.

A final tip for our surgeons is to always take a good look and feel of the bony septum and of the inferior turbinates, to consider further septal resection, and inferior turbinate outfracture/ablation. The main obstruction I’ve seen has been an untouched bony septum that continues to block off a nasal passage.
