Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses marking techniques used in a cleft lip repair, specifically the Fisher technique. It starts with marking the cupid's bow, involving three points: one low point and two high points. The cleft-side filter column is compared to the non-cleft side to determine adjustments using a measurement called delta, factoring in the Rose-Thompson effect. Cleft-side adjustments require creating a 2mm advancing flap. Additional points, such as Nordhoff’s point and the gutter point, are marked to ensure the symmetry of the lip’s vermilion and white roll. Lastly, mucosal and lateral dart cuts are made for closure.
