Abstract
Background: Cleft lip nasal deformities are challenging problems in all aspects and there are debates about timing, approaches, techniques as well as types of the used grafts. Objective: Evaluation of the results of corrective rhinoplasty in post cleft lip nasal deformity at Al-Azhar University Hospitals (Al-Hussien and Said Galal Hospitals). Patients and Methods: This is a prospective clinical study which included thirty patients having post cleft lip nasal deformity whom underwent corrective rhinoplasty for cleft lip nasal deformity. These patients were managed at AlAzhar University Hospitals (Al-Hussien and Said Galal Hospitals) during the period from May 2017 to January 2019. Results: The vast majority of the operated upon patients had an obvious degree of satisfaction after 6 months to 12 months of postoperative follow up. Conclusion: Autologous cartilaginous grafts are the most suitable type of nasal grafts, and costal cartilage graft is the most superior between them. Further studies are needed to justify if primary rhinoplasty is beneficial or it disturbs the nasal symmetry and leave scared tissues for a potential future intervention.
