  • This study is to evaluate the growth and development of the maxilla advanced by transoral distraction osteogenesis of cleft lip and palate children. Subjects are two patients diagnosed as maxillary hypoplasia with cleft lip and palate, and followed up over 5 years after distraction. At the age of 11.4 years (mean), the distraction had been rendered and periodically taken lateral cephalograms were analysed to trace the growth of the maxilla. This cephalometric study showed continuous growth and development of the distracted maxilla to be stable through long term follow-up.

  • Simultaneous implant installation with bone graft was performed in 15 cases. Four cases were cleft alveolus patients. 56 implants were placed immediately with block bone grafts. 2 cases were cranial bone grafts and the others were iliac bone grafts. Three of 56 implants were lost(94.6% Survival rate). One of three was cleft alveolus case. The cleft alveolus patients with simultaneous implants installation showed functional and esthetic results without infraocclusion and positional changes. Bergland index was considered to be type I after 12 months later. Immediate implant installation with bone graft is one of choice of treatment in closing cleft alveolus hoping simultaneous implant installation could be related with function which might result in less resorption of graft. Functional and esthetic results are satisfaction ; there was no infraocclusion and positional changes.

  • The columella, nasal tip, lip relationship in the secondary bilateral cleft deformity remains an enigma and a great challenge for the cleft surgeon. A subset of patients with bilateral cleft lip still require columellar lengthening and nasal correction, despite the advances in preoperative orthopedics and primary nasal corrections. An approach to correct this deformity is described. This consists of 1) lengthening the columella, 2) open rhinoplasty, allowing definitive repositioning of lower lateral cartilages, ear cartilage grafting to the tip and columella when necessary, 3) nasal mucosal advancement, 4) alar base narrowing and 5) reconstruction of the orbicularis oris as required. In surgical repair of the cleft lip nose, the timing of the operation(during lip closure, before or after the puberty growth sput), and the operative technique play a key role in the final result. In this study, 13 cleft lip patients who had undergone a secondary cheilorhinoplasty at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Pusan National University Hospital were evaluated to check the proper time and method of the operation.

  • Il Woong Cleft lip and palate foundation was founded in 1968 by Professor emeritus Byoung-Il Min. Since then the foundation has operated numerous cleft lip and palate patients not only in Korea but also in under-developed countries such as Vietnam, China, and Cambodia. In December 2005, the foundation was allowed as an incorporated association by Ministry of Foreign affairs and Trade, so that it could have official status. From March 6th 2009 to March 14th 2009, we conductp,d charity cleft lip and palate operations of 23 patients in areas of Deozhou, China. Hereby we present the results of operations.
