An operation is described for correction of unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity which has had considerable uniformity of success and is applicable to both mild and severe degrees of deformity. Our proposed repair technique is performed through an external rhinoplasty approach and depends on repositioning of the displaced and deformed cartilages together with the reinforcement of the structural support of the nose by using multiple cartilage grafts. This surgical technique was used in 18 consecutive adult patients with unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity and yielded consistently good long-term functional and cosmetic results.
