ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Long-term follow-up results of many surgical techniques for lip adhesion are unavailable. Thus, we report the surgical results of patients who underwent lip adhesions performed by a single surgeon. We retrospectively analyzed two-dimensional photographs of 29 patients aged 1âyear who underwent lip adhesion and definite lip repair. Among these patients, we analyzed the photographs of 20 patients aged 6âyears who underwent secondary rhinoplasty. The ratio of the cleft side length to the noncleft side length was calculated. Only the upper lip length in the photographs of 1-year-olds was measured; both the upper lip and nose lengths were measured in the photographs of 6-year-olds. Lip width, vermilion height, and medial lip height on the cleft and non-cleft sides of 1-year-olds were not significantly different; the alar base width ratio was 1.17â±â0.15, and the lateral lip height ratio was 0.91â±â0.09 (Pâ<â0.001). No significant differences were observed in lip width and vermilion height between the cleft and non-cleft sides of the upper lip of 6-year-olds; the alar base width ratio was 1.22â±â0.16, medial lip height ratio was 1.11â±â0.11, and lateral lip height ratio was 0.89â±â0.09 (Pâ<â0.05). There were no significant differences in the alar projection and nasal dome height on the cleft side of the nose; the nostril height and width ratios were 0.82â±â0.11 and 1.31â±â0.21 (Pâ<â0.001), respectively. These consecutively performed lip adhesions for patients with wide unilateral complete cleft lip resulted in excellent long-term results. Therefore, lip adhesion for wide unilateral complete cleft lip is a reasonable alternative to presurgical molding.
