Obstructive respiratory stress and feeding difficulties in infants with Robin sequence (RS) may result in poor weight gain or loss. Following failure of conservative treatment, surgical options include mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) and tongue-lip adhesion (TLA). Whilst both techniques have demonstrated to improve airway patency and feeding behavior, an advantage of either in restoring weight growth remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate how "atypical" nasal and lip appearances after unilateral cleft lip and palate repair are viewed compared to "typical" outcomes, gathering opinions from professionals, patients, and laypeople.
  • An online survey was conducted with participants ranking photographs of patients with repaired UCLP, revealing that "atypical" features such as small nostrils and whistling deformities were ranked significantly lower in appearance quality.
  • Results showed that despite differences in groups, there was no significant variation in how professionals, patients, and laypeople ranked the photographs, indicating a consistent perception of nasal and lip outcomes across all groups.

Objective: To reassess reliability and validity of the Submental Nasal Appearance Scale (SNAS) compared to the preliminary pilot study, for assessment of patient photographs with repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). When utilizing the SNAS, 3 nasal features (1. nasal outline; 2.

Objective: To develop the "Submental Nasal Appearance Scale" (SNAS), which is an easy-to-use objectified tool to represent a cleft surgeon's standard for assessment of the nasal appearance from the submental perspective.

Design: Eighty-five photographs of patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate were selected and cropped, displaying the submental view. Sixty-one photographs were used to develop 5 sets of reference photographs.

Objectives: Partial tooth agenesis is frequently observed in Robin sequence. Tooth anomalies are increasingly considered as an extended phenotype of the cleft palate population. The study objective was to compare the prevalence and patterns of tooth agenesis in a group of patients with non-syndromic Robin sequence (ns-RS) and a group with non-syndromic cleft palate (ns-CP).
