Abstract

The primary reconstruction of a unilateral cleft lip deformity has undergone a substantial evolution in the past decades. The goals are universally accepted when repairing a unilateral cleft lip. However, the assiduous debate and myriad of peer-reviewed articles regarding the types of surgical techniques adopted to reconstruct a unilateral cleft lip guarantee that there is no singular optimum approach to correcting the full spectrum of nasolabial deformity. Surgeons pursuing the delivery of high-level surgical cleft care should recognize the anatomical nuances of each type of cleft lip deformity to select the most appropriate surgical technique accordingly. This chapter describes the Lo’s modified Noordhoff’s procedure, a muscle-driven technique, for the reconstruction of unilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity, underlining the technical evolution pursuing a symmetric appearance of the nasolabial region with no need for revision during the growing age until the establishment of current state of the art in unilateral cleft lip repair with primary nasal overcorrection.
