Abstract

The principles for repair of bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity are 1) symmetry, 2) primary muscular continuity, 3) proper philtral size and shape, 4) formation of the median tubercle and vermilion-cutaneous ridge from lateral labial elements, and 5) primary positioning of the alar cartilages to construct the nasal tip and columella. The authors underscore the essential role of preoperative premaxillary positioning for the synchronous closure of the cleft lip and primary palate, and describe Mulliken's operative technique. We discuss three-dimensional adjustments based on predicted fourth-dimensional changes. In a consecutive series of 50 patients, no revisions were necessary for philtral size or columellar length. Preoperative premaxillary positioning and primary repair of bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity may impair maxillary growth. Nevertheless, a symmetric nasolabial appearance, rather than emphasis on maxillary growth, is the priority for the child with bilateral cleft lip.

양측 구순열의 코-입술 동시 수술의 원칙이 확립되었고 기법은 계속 진화하고 있다. 이에 따라 예전에 전형적으로 보이던 양측 구순열비의 오점들이 더 이상 명확히 보이지 않게 되고 있다. 외과의사들은 양측 구순열비 교정에 대한 원칙을 숙지하고 술전 악정형치료를 효과적으로 유도하고 성장이라는 4차원적 변화를 예견하는 3차원적 설계와 코-입술 동시 수술의 기법을 채득하여 환자를 치료하여야 한다. 또한 수술후 정기적인 관찰과 평가는 외과의사의 의무가 되어야 하고 문제가 분명해 질 때는 적절히 수정하여야 한다. 이번에 소개한 Mulliken의 치료법은 단순히 기법만을 중시하는 것이 아니라 원칙과 의무, 성장을 고려하는 4차원적 치료이다. 저자들은 이 치료법이 환자들과 외과의사들에게 많은 도움이 되기를 바란다.
