For cleft lip and palate, different cleft palate requires different surgical methods.
According to the degree of cracking can be divided into:
I degree, cleft lip is limited to red cleft lip.
Second-degree cleft lip is the upper lip split, not the bottom of the nose. (The shallowness Ⅱ indicates that the crack does not exceed the lip height 1/2, and the depth Ⅱ indicates that the crack exceeds the lip height 1/2).
Third degree cleft lip is a complete cleft of the upper lip and the bottom of the nose. In addition, there is recessive cleft lip, that is to say, although the skin and mucosa are not cracked, they lack muscle layer.
Different cleft palate requires different surgical methods:
Repair of cleft lip;
If the cleft lip and palate caused by congenital defects is only unilateral cleft palate, then unilateral cleft palate should be corrected to keep it consistent with normal cleft lip after operation. If there is cleft palate on both sides, it is necessary to extend the nasal column and supplement the missing skin in the mouth.
Repair of cleft lip and palate;
Most patients with cleft lip and palate underwent cleft lip and palate surgery when they were young. After the operation failed, they sank and shrank, and Z-shaped or lightning-like scars appeared. The hospital treated them with scar excision, re-suture, laser scar desalination, dermal transplantation and other treatments to achieve the goal of eliminating scars.
Nasal repair of cleft lip and palate;
Because the growth potential is not as fast as that of normal tissues, the lips are scarred and the alar and nostril cartilage are deformed. Usually, the nose and lips need to be repaired at the same time. Through surgical repair, laser desalination, dermal transplantation and other methods, the appropriate surgical method is selected for repair, and the effect is obvious.
In fact, no matter which way you choose to improve, it is more important to make more comparisons, do more face-to-face consultations and choose a suitable and reliable hospital for safe surgery!
