Journal CME Article: Update in Unilateral Cleft Lip Surgery V6

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript outlines a surgical procedure for repairing a cleft lip. The process involves creating strategic cuts in the lip to adjust and align anatomical elements like the cupid's bow and the vermilion cutaneous junction. The surgeon uses various blades to release the skin, reposition muscles, and achieve desired lip and nasal shapes. The procedure also involves suturing the orbicularis oris muscle and the mucosa to maintain the lip's natural position. A nasal stint is applied for three months post-surgery to aid in shaping the nose. The goal is to repair the lip tension-free and ensure natural alignment.
