Objective: To improve the method of vermillion flap and orbicularis oris bundle anastomosis in repair of transverse facial cleft.
Methods: Based on the precise fixed point, the modified vermillion flap was designed slender at the new corner of the upper lip, and was inserted into the lower lip after removing part tissue. The orbicularis oris was divided into two bands and cross-stitched.
Results: Fifteen patients with unilateral transverse facial cleft form the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University during September 2016 and December 2018 were operated, and the position and shape of the commissure were almost normal.
Conclusions: The cosmetic effect and oral function are satisfactory when the modified vermillion flap and bundle anastomosis of orbicularis oris is used to repair transverse facial cleft.

Background: Many repair techniques have been recommended to treat lower lip defects. Although effective in many instances, some techniques are accompanied by complications, such as flap necrosis, dysesthesia of the lip, lip flattening, shortening, and loss of the vermillion roll. This study aimed to report the use of keystone design perforator island flap (KDPIF) in small to medium defects to achieve an effective and functional reconstruction of vermillion defects after Mohs surgery for lip cancer.

Article Synopsis
- The goal of cleft lip surgery is to improve the upper lip's structure and function, but some patients may develop secondary deformities like a shortened philtrum and excessive tooth visibility.
- An Abbe flap technique was used to address these deformities in a 33-year-old woman with a history of bilateral cleft lip and palate, leading to successful treatment.
- The case highlighted not only improved facial aesthetics through measurements but also the potential to use oral mucosa from the scarred area to repair nasolabial fistulae.

Article Synopsis
- Restoring lateral lip defects while maintaining mouth function and aesthetics has been a significant challenge, but a study from 2006 to 2022 explored a modified McGregor fan flap technique for reconstruction.
- The study involved 126 flap procedures on 122 patients with lower lip defects between 30-100% in size, with a notable success in vermilion reconstruction and no complications reported.
- All patients achieved normal mouth opening within three months, and the technique is considered reliable for moderate to large defects, though different methods may be needed for cases with buccal mucosa involvement.
Objective: To determine a baseline of anticipated change in nasolabial appearance following primary repair of unilateral cleft lip/palate and evaluate the degree to which revision surgery improves nasolabial appearance.
Design: Retrospective chart review.
Setting: Patients treated at the Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic interdisciplinary clinic.

Reconstruction of vermillion defects of the lower lip requires careful consideration of functional and aesthetic aspects. Traditionally, various local flap methods involving tissue advancement from the corner of the mouth, lateral chin, and medial cheek have been commonly employed to fill lower lip defects. However, these approaches have inherent limitations, which include technical complexity, disruption of the orbicularis oris muscle, lip tightening, microstomia, and visible scarring.
