Functional and aesthetic approach to the elimination of secondary deformities of the nose and upper lip in patients with congenital cleft lip and palate

Analysis of the revealed residual deformities of the nose and upper lip after the primary interventions and assessment of the pathology of the nasal cavity structures led to the introduction of a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of this pathology in patients with congenital cleft lip and palate in the NPC Bonum. The article describes the experience of eliminating secondary deformation of the upper lip and nose with simultaneous restoration of the nasal cavity structures. The operations were performed by a maxillofacial surgeon, a plastic surgeon (in one person), and an otorhinolaryngologist.
