Medial incision approach in modified small double-opposing Z-plasty for Veau II cleft repair.

An encouraging outcome was described for the use of modified Furlow small double-opposing Z-plasty (sDOZ) using the medial incision (MIsDOZ) approach in repair of Veau type I cleft palate. This retrospective study assessed early results of using extended indication criterion of MIsDOZ for the management of consecutive non-syndromic patients with Veau II cleft palate treated by a single surgeon. Bardach two-flap plus sDOZ (two-flap approach) or medial incision approach with a tension-driven stepwise application of lateral palatal incisions (soft palate only, von Langenbeck type, or two-flap type) were applied.

Scar Outcome in Unilateral Complete Cleft Lip Repair: A Comparative Analysis of Vertical Lip Lengthening Strategies Using the Rotation-Advancement Concept.

Objective: To assess the differences in scar outcomes between modified rotation-advancement techniques proposed by Drs. Mohler and Noordhoff, designed to address issues such as inadequate vertical lip length and scarring on the upper third of the lip in the original rotation-advancement technique.

Design: Retrospective single-surgeon (RD) study.

Validating the Modified Small Double Opposing Z-Plasty for Palatal Lengthening in Primary Palatoplasty.

Objective: To appraise the degree of intraoperative palatal lengthening with the modified Furlow small double-opposing Z-plasty (sDOZ).

Design: Retrospective single-surgeon (R.D.

Modified Medial Incision Small Double-Opposing Z-Plasty for Treating Veau Type I Cleft Palate: Is the Early Result Reproducible?

Objective: An inspiring early result with no oronasal fistula formation was recently described for a modified medial incision small double-opposing Z-plasty (MIsDOZ) for treating Veau type I cleft palate. This study describes an early single-surgeon experience in applying this newly proposed surgical approach.

Design: Retrospective single-surgeon study.
