Secondary correction of the wide nasal root in bilateral nasal deformity associated with cleft lip in five Oriental patients.
Secondary correction of bilateral nasal deformity associated with a cleft lip is common. However, few reports have referred to the correction of the wide nasal root. In this study we describe a technique other than osteotomy for the correction of the wide nasal root used in five Oriental patients with bilateral nasal deformity associated with cleft lip. Satisfactory results were obtained, and two representative cases are described.
