ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate the effect of presurgical nasal mode(PNM)combined with nasal diorthosis in the treatment of na-sal deformity and incomplete unilateral cleft lip(IUCL)in infants.Methods:
35 infants with IUCL were treated by PNM followed by nasal diorthosis and cheiloplasty.The nasal asymmetry was analysed by measurments of nostrils height,nostrils width and nasal colu-mella angle skewness on the photographs at the initial visit(T0),pre-operation(T1),1 week after operation(T2),1 month after opera-tion(T3)and a year after operation(T4).The other 35 infants with IUCL without PNM treatment were served as the controls.Re-sultsCompared with the controls,the symmetry of nostrils height,nostrils width,nasal columella angle skewness in PNM treated children were significantly improved at T0-T1 and T1-T2(P <0.05).there was no significant difference at T2-T3 and T3-T4(P >0. 05).Conclusion:
Nasal asymmetry can be improved by presurgical nasal mode treatment followed by preliminary nasal deformity di-orthosis and cheiloplasty.
