[A study of individual operation designs for bilateral cleft lip repair].
OBJECTIVE
To design an individual operation procedure that can be adaptable to various deformity of bilateral cleft lip and to assure the symmetry of lip and cupid's bow postoperatively in bilateral cleft lip.


METHODS
The distance from both sides of columella to cupid's bow peaks in prolabium as well as both sides of alar base to cupid's bow peaks in lateral lip has been used as standard of classification of the deformity of bilateral cleft lip, then operative procedures respectively was designed in accordance with each special characteristic of bilateral deformity.


RESULTS
Five kinds of operation procedures were designed, and each procedure was suitable only for one kind of preoperation deformity of bilateral cleft lip.


CONCLUSIONS
The individual operation designs should be corresponding to the types of deformity before operation in bilateral cleft lip repair.
