Abstract

Unilateral cleft lip is a common congenital anomaly that affects the appearance and function of the upper lip and nose. Surgical repair of cleft lip aims to restore the normal anatomy and functionality of the affected structures. In recent years, several advances have been made in the field of cleft lip repair, including new surgical techniques and approaches. This comprehensive review discusses the surgical management of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate and provides step-by-step instructions for the surgical procedures.
