Bilateral Cleft Lip Repair: Lessons from History

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the process of marking for bilateral cleft lip repair using the John Mulliken technique. It involves marking key nasal and lip points to ensure symmetrical repair of the lip and nose. The procedure begins with marking the nasal tip, alar points, and proceeds to the lip, focusing on the prolabium and Cupid's bow. These markings, done with precision, guide the repair to create a natural appearance by incorporating white roll and vermilion from lateral lip elements, while preserving mucosal tissue. Symmetry and proper proportions are crucial in this technique to achieve an aesthetically pleasing outcome.
