Columella reconstruction with the Washio flap.
Satisfactory reconstruction of the columella area is always challenging. An 8-year-old girl underwent columellar reconstruction 7 years after bilateral cleft lip surgery using a temporo-parieto-auricular flap. This method was found to be useful for columellar reconstruction with good colour and aesthetic result.
