When performing a unilateral incomplete cleft lip repair, it is essential to create a good sub-structure of the upper lip contour, reconstruct the orbicularis oris muscle, and prevent an unwanted scar. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of muscle reconstruction using a five-flap method with a short straight-line incision in unilateral incomplete cleft lip repair. Thirty-two infants with unilateral incomplete cleft lip were treated with this method between April 2020 and February 2023.

Background: The east-west advancement flap is a simple flap traditionally used to repair Mohs surgery defects on the nose. We aim to demonstrate this flap can be used with good cosmetic outcome and minimal complications on a variety of anatomical sites.
Methods: This study was a case series of four patients taking place between March 2021 and September 2021 with 4- to 6-week postoperative follow-up.

Small-to-medium cutaneous defects of the distal nose pose a significant challenge to reconstructive surgeons, and commonly described reconstructive techniques have their limitations. As the skin of this region is characteristically rigid and sebaceous, care must be taken to avoid introducing unfavorable tension vectors that can result in functional or anatomic distortion of the nasal free margins. With this in mind, the authors discuss 3 alternative reconstructive options, the East-West, nasalis sling, and trilobed flaps, which have wide utility in the repair of distal nasal cutaneous defects and can result in excellent cosmesis.
