Shape and function of the unilateral cleft nose in adolescents following modified Millard lip repair.
24 patients with unilateral clefts operated on (at age of 6 months) according to the Millard (1964) procedure were examined at an average age of 10.1 years. Nasal shape and function were evaluated. No change of nasal shape was found during the observation period. The results were superior to those attained by the author with the Tennison-Trauner (1952, 1957) procedure in 6 cases. 13 of the Millard (1964) cases are not expected to need secondary nasal correction at a later date.
