[Median and paramedian orbito-facial clefts: value of the L-shaped incision in the surgical treatment of nasal deformities].
Authors have reported an interest in the latero-nasal incision for surgical treatment of nasal deformities of patients with median and paramedian orbito-facial clefts. Validity of this "L" approach is correlated to its respect for the integrity of aesthetic facial units and to its position in a natural fold (naso-labial fold). A series of patients with median and paramedian orbito-facial clefts were operated upon using this approach and good results were obtained which support its theoretical value.
