Abstract
Surgical principles of bilateral cleft lip repair have evolved over time. The old staged lip repair has been replaced by single-stage approach. However, the care of patients with bilateral cleft lip remains extremely variable. This chapter addresses the modern guiding principles of bilateral cleft lip repair with synchronous reconstruction of nasal deformity, highlighting the controversies surrounding this treatment such as the management of the protruding premaxilla, reconstruction of the upper gingivolabial sulcus, reconstitution of the Cupid’s bow and median tubercle, muscle repair, and correction of the nasal deformity. The bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity is also characterized.
