Abstract

The nasal sequelae of unilateral cleft lip and palate are almost always present: more or less severe deformities, essentially consisting of nostril deformity and deviated septum. After an anatomical study of nasal deformities and the consequences of the primary procedures of cheiloplasty or cheilorhinoplasty, the authors review all of the most satisfactory technical aspects of secondary proposed in the literature. Five clinical cases illustrate the therapeutic strategy and the results.
