Journal CME Article: Update in Unilateral Cleft Lip Surgery V3

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video details the Fischer technique for unilateral cleft lip repair, focusing on addressing deformities in the lip and nose. Using a quill-type pen with methylene blue, markings begin by addressing nasal asymmetries and continue with lip-columellar alignment. Critical points like the Alar insertion and sub-alarate points on both sides are marked, highlighting differences between the cleft and non-cleft sides. The approach aims to clarify nasal asymmetry, guide corrections, and ensure symmetry in nostril sill and lip length across the cleft. A V wedge excision helps align and close the cleft margin effectively.
