Mild- to moderate-sized lip defects that affect one- to two-thirds of the total lip length often require that utilization of local soft tissue rearrangement in order to re-establish lip anatomy, function and esthetics. The use of local flaps in lip reconstruction often follows oncologic resection of common skin malignancies including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. When considering the types of flaps to use for lip defects of one- to two-third total length, a variety of flaps designs have been described, each with its benefits in drawbacks. In this article, we reintroduce the use and value of the bilateral mucomyocutaneous 'bandoneon' flaps for lower lip reconstruction in two of our patients. When compared with other flap designs, it can be used as a single-stage procedure with a very good esthetic outcome, minimal to no microstomia and preservation of lip competence and sensory function.

Background: Lip carcinomas account for 23.6% to 30% of tumors affecting the oral cavity. Lip reconstruction aims to achieve a competent oral sphincter with a good cosmetic appearance while avoiding microstomia.

Witteveen-Kolk syndrome (WITKOS) is an exceptionally uncommon genetic and neurodevelopmental disorder, characterized by developmental delay, mild intellectual disability, and craniofacial dysmorphic features. Although cleft palate (CP) has rarely been reported in WITKOS, CP in this condition has not been assessed in detail. Here, we present a case of WITKOS with a CP.

Cranial Base Changes After Trans-sutural Distraction Osteogenesis in Growing Patients With Cleft Lip/Palate and Midface Hypoplasia.

Department of Plastic Surgery, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Transesutural distraction osteogenesis (TSDO) is a method of correcting midfacial hypoplasia (MH) secondary to cleft lip and palate (CLP) without osteotomy. However, there has been little research on how the morphology of the cranial base changes postoperatively or whether any correction of the cranial base occurs.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 35 pediatric patients with MH secondary to CLP, who underwent TSDO treatment.

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), such as the CLEFT-Q, have become essential for outcomes in patients with CL/P. Normative values of the CLEFT-Q for non-CL/P peers have not yet been established. This study aims to establish normative values for the CLEFT-Q in the general Dutch population.
