New concepts, methods, and techniques for unilateral cleft lip repair

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2025.2025018

Abstract

Abstract:

The unilateral cleft lip repair surgery has undergone over a century of development, marked by achievements and difficulties. Although the development of the methods for cleft lip repair has passed the period of rapid advancement, there remains an urgent need in clinical practice to further improve these methods in order to enhance clinical outcomes. This article aims to improve cleft lip repair methods by analyzing and elaborating on various aspects, including the attributes of cleft lip repair, the shift in concepts of cleft lip repair, innovations in surgical techniques, technical improvements, and classifications and repair methods for correcting secondary deformities. The analysis is based on the author's research and experience.

Key words: unilateral cleft lip, repair, concept, surgical method, innovation
