alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Stability of nasal symmetry following primary cleft lip and nasal repair: five years of follow-up via International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery via MedWorm.com Despite advances in cleft lip treatment, various levels of residual deformity remain after primary repair of cleft lip and palate. The aim of the current study was to compare the stability of short- and long-term postoperative nasal symmetry. This retrospective study included 100 consecutive non-syndromic patients with unilateral complete cleft lip who underwent primary cleft lip repair with follow-up of 5 years. Measurements taken from basal and frontal standard photograph views, obtained preoperatively (T1) and immediately (T2), 1 year (T3), and 5 years postoperative (T4), were analysed.
