Primary Rhinoplasty for Unilateral Cleft Lip: A Long-Term Cohort Assessment of Aesthetic and Anthropometric Outcomes.

The decision to undertake rhinoplasty maneuvers during cleft lip repair remains controversial. Little data compare long-term outcomes with and without primary rhinoplasty (PR). This study compared nasolabial outcomes in cohorts with unilateral cleft lip (UCL) treated with and without PR at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia using standardized aesthetic and anthropometric assessments.

Endoscopic-assisted versus open fronto-orbital distraction for unicoronal craniosynostosis: morphometric and technique considerations.

Introduction: In an effort to maximize benefit and minimize morbidity when performing fronto-orbital distraction osteogenesis (FODO) for unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS), we have transitioned to an endoscopic-assisted approach ("endo-FODO"). This study compares photogrammetric outcomes of patients who underwent FODO via an endoscopic-assisted versus open approach.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients treated for UCS from 2013 to 2023.

Long-Term Surgical Outcomes of Intermediate Cleft Rhinoplasty.

Background: The risk/benefit ratio of operating on the cleft nasal deformity in the period of mixed dentition remains debated. This study characterizes our 18-year experience with intermediate cleft rhinoplasties to add data and nuance to the discussion.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent intermediate cleft rhinoplasty from 2006 to 2023.

Condylar Volumetric Asymmetry Predicts Need for Surgical Intervention in Patients With Cleft Lip and/or Palate.

Objective: In this study, the authors investigate the associations between the mandibular condyle and facial asymmetry in patients with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP).

Methods: Condylar volume was calculated by measuring the bony volume of the posterior mandible superior to the sigmoid notch in skeletally mature patients with CLP and controls. Relationships between condylar asymmetry, facial deviation, and malocclusion were compared using t-tests, correlation analysis, and receiver operating characteristic curves.

The Evolution of Unicoronal Synostosis Correction: Long-Term Aesthetic Outcomes of Fronto-Orbital Distraction Versus Traditional Advancement.

Introduction: This study compares the long-term aesthetic outcomes of patients with unicoronal synostosis (UCS) who underwent fronto-orbital distraction osteogenesis (FODO) versus traditional fronto-orbital advancement and remodeling (FOAR).

Methods: Patients treated for nonsyndromic UCS from 2009 to 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Perioperative and complication characteristics were compared between all patients who underwent FOAR, open FODO, and endoscopic-assisted FODO ("endo-FODO").
