Abstract
Introduction and objectives

Cleft lip and palate are usually associated with craniofacial defects and nose deformities that alter the facial aesthetic configuration. After initial surgical treatment, further surgery (both nasal and maxillary) is often required to reduce the physical impact in these patients. These techniques should be delayed until the development of the facial skeleton is complete. The purpose of this study was to assess the system used in the preoperative analysis of such patients, the surgical technique and our results after proper follow-up time.

Materials and methods

This was a retrospective study describing the medical history of patients with background of unilateral cleft lip treatment in childhood who underwent surgery in our service to correct their nasal deformity between June 2010 and June 2011.

Results

We evaluated 5 cases on which we performed a functional, aesthetic, anthropometric and psychological analysis. The treatment was carried out at an average age of 18.3 years, with an individualised surgical technique using open septorhinoplasty. The mean follow-up time was 24.5 months.

Conclusions

Preoperative analysis for this condition should include an aesthetic and functional nasal study and an anthropometric and psychological study. Open septorhinoplasty carried out at the age of 16–18 years is an appropriate procedure to correct the cleft lip nasal and palate deformity. Our surgical technique offers good long term functional, aesthetic, anthropometric and psychological outcomes.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivos

La fisura labiopalatina suele asociarse a malformaciones craneofaciales y dismorfias nasales que alteran la configuración estética facial. Tras el tratamiento quirúrgico inicial suelen ser necesarias intervenciones quirúrgicas, tanto nasal como maxilar, para reducir el impacto físico que presentan estos pacientes, técnicas que deberán retrasarse hasta que el desarrollo del esqueleto facial se haya completado. El objetivo de este estudio es exponer la sistemática utilizada en el análisis preoperatorio de estos pacientes, la técnica quirúrgica utilizada y nuestros resultados después de un tiempo de seguimiento adecuado.

Material y métodos

Estudio retrospectivo descriptivo mediante la revisión de pacientes con antecedentes de tratamiento de fisura labiopalatina unilateral en la infancia intervenidos en nuestro servicio para corregir su dismorfia nasal entre junio del 2010 y junio del 2011.

Resultados

Se evaluaron 5 casos, en los que se realizó un análisis funcional, estético, antropométrico y psicológico. El tratamiento se llevó a cabo a una edad media de 18,3 años, por medio de un proyecto quirúrgico individualizado a través de una septorrinoplastia abierta. El tiempo medio de seguimiento fue de 24,5 meses.

Conclusiones

El análisis preoperatorio para de este tipo de patología nasal debe incluir un estudio estético, funcional, antropométrico y psicológico. La septorrinoplastia abierta llevada a cabo a la edad de 16-18 años es un procedimiento adecuado para corregir la dismorfia nasal secundaria a fisura labiopalatina. Nuestra técnica quirúrgica ofrece buenos resultados funcionales, estéticos, antropométricos y psicológicos a largo plazo.
