We present a case of reconstruction of the philtrum with a unilateral superiorly-based nasolabial island flap following a secondary Millard's bilateral cheiloplasty in a 23-year-old man with cleft lip and palate. His philtrum consisted of a full-thickness skin graft transplanted at one of his previous operations.

Introduction: Large anterior palatal fistula and special alveolar clefts, such as edentulous atrophic premaxilla and absent premaxilla (premaxillectomy or agenesis), as well as wide unilateral alveolar cleft, are complicated cases in alveolar cleft bone grafting surgery. A superiorly-based buccinator myomucosal flap is suitable in this regard.
Materials And Methods: The cleft patients whose large anterior palatal fistula and superiorly based buccinator myomucosal flap had been used for palatal or alveolar reconstruction were recruited in the study.

Introduction: The nasolabial flap can be used for reconstruction of the orofacial region. The procedure is of a short duration and treats orofacial soft tissue defects of small to moderate size, especially when microsurgical free flaps are less feasible due to lack of infrastructure, expertise or financial constraints.
Aims And Objectives: To study the effectiveness of the nasolabial flaps in reconstruction of orofacial defects of various origins.

Purpose: Patients with repaired cleft lip and cleft palate (CL/P) can develop velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) after Le Fort I maxillary advancement. The aim of this study was to evaluate speech outcomes in patients who required a pharyngeal flap after Le Fort I maxillary advancement.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all patients with repaired CL/P who underwent a Le Fort I osteotomy and subsequently required a pharyngeal flap to correct VPI.
Sandwich Thyroplasty: A Novel Technique for Simplifying Medialization of Vocal Fold Using Silicone Implant in Paralytic Dysphonia with Modification of Thyroplasty Window.

Sri Sathya Sai Institute of ORL and Research Centre for Voice Disorders, 4/2, Brodiepet, Guntur, 522002 Andhra Pradesh India.
A novel technique of thyroplasty-Sandwich thyroplasty-described, with modification of Isshiki's thyroplasty window to overcome the problems of securing and stabilising the silicone implant in the window thus simplifying the medialization of the vocal fold. Seventy five patients diagnosed with paralytic dysphonia of varied etiology, attending Sri Sathya Sai Institute of ORL, Guntur, India from January 2005 to January 2012, were subjected to this new technique. Medialization of vocal fold was achieved by sandwiching and stabilising a silicone implant between a superiorly based cartilaginous hinged door and the inner perichondrium of the modified thyroplasty window.

Purpose: To evaluate the commissural symmetry and commissural migration among patients with unilateral transverse facial cleft.
Patients And Methods: From 2006 to 2009, 31 patients with unilateral transverse facial cleft were repaired with superiorly based vermillion-mucosal flap and orbicularis oris reconstruction. Linear closure and superiorly rotated and inferiorly rotated Z-plasty were randomly chosen for skin closure.
