Secondary alveolar bone grafting may not be feasible in a considerable number of patients who have cleft lip and palate, mainly because of the requirement for sizeable bony restitution and the insufficient amount of soft tissue for reliable coverage. Bone transport distraction and free vascularized bone transfers are the salvage techniques for treating these deformities and accomplishing successful bone grafting. This report presents a case of bilateral cleft lip and palate with a large palatoalveolar fistula and a rudimentary premaxilla after prior failed attempts at bone grafting. The authors used the free vascularized iliac bone flap with the osteotomies like puzzle for definitive restoration of the deformity.

Convincing a patient who has undergone any aesthetic surgery to come for a long-term follow-up is extremely difficult. The result obtained after rhinoplasty usually stabilizes in the first year and it is unlikely to change after 2 years. The precision carving technique described in 2014 has been employed by us for the last several years.

The surgical ciliated cyst is a newly added entity under the cysts of the jaws in the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumours (2022). It is preceded by a prior surgery to the jaw many years before its diagnosis. A 53-year-old Chinese female, who had undergone cleft lip and palate repair followed by orthognathic surgery before the age of 20, was referred for management of an incidentally found cyst in the left maxilla.

Cleft lip and palate anomalies constitute both aesthetic and functional impairments for affected individuals. While an individual with an unrepaired cleft palate may adjust somewhat to the associated feeding challenges as he or she gets older, the consequent speech impairment is amenable primarily to surgery. It is pertinent to assess how well speech function is restored in individuals with cleft after surgical repairs.

Objective: Bilateral cleft lip nose deformity often involves nasal alar retraction. The use of autogenous auricular cartilage for correction further aggravated nasal alar retraction caused by nasal lining defects after the operation. A novel graft was developed to address bilateral cleft lip nose deformity.
