Between unity and disparity: current treatment protocols for common orofacial clefts in European expert centres.

There is considerable variability in the management of common orofacial clefts across Europe, reflecting differing opinions on optimal treatments. An updated overview of treatment protocols for orofacial clefts across 26 expert centres in the European Reference Network CRANIO is presented here. A structured questionnaire was distributed to map the surgical protocol and additional standard procedures for cleft palate (CP), unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), and bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP).

Maxillary and total nasal reconstruction with a scapulo dorsal perforator flap.

Facial gunshots injuries remain challenging and present functional and aesthetic problems. Such defects generally require composite tissue flaps for reconstruction. Rebuilding the palate and the maxilla is especially delicate because it requires reconstitution of the facial buttresses, and replacement of bony hard palate, based on occlusion, as well as the restoration of the thin intraoral and intranasal lining which normally constitute the soft palate.

Parental and Child Diagnosis Storytelling and Self-Image in French Children With Cleft lip With or Without Cleft Palate.

Objective: Psychosocial adjustment can be challenging for children with cleft lip with or without a cleft palate (CL ± P). Previous studies have linked social integration with self-acceptance and highlighted the impact of the parents' stress on self-acceptance. Teasing can be linked to children having difficulties explaining their diagnosis to others.

Satisfaction survey of secondary rhinoplasty among unilateral cleft lip and palate patients.

Unlabelled: Secondary rhinoplasty on patients with cleft is a challenging procedure, and the most important criterion for evaluating the surgery success is patient satisfaction even if it's subjective.

Objectives: To evaluate patient satisfaction following secondary cleft rhinoplasty with a specific assessment for patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate (UCLP).

Patients And Methods: Our retrospective cross-sectional study is composed of 29 patients with UCLP with a mean age of 23years old, who underwent secondary rhinoplasty between 2010 and 2021 in our department.

Unilateral cleft nose deformities at adulthood.

Secondary rhinoplasty is a challenging procedure, requiring a precise preoperative diagnosis of nasal deformities before correcting them. As there is currently no accepted outcome measurement tool available to assess unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) nose sequelae before secondary rhinoplasty. The goal of this retrospective study is to identify the nose deformities and rate them in an evaluation scale that allows collecting and analyzing cleft nose data.
