“…Lip height was measured as the vertical lip height from subalare to Cupid's bow peak (sbal-cph). Horizontal lip length and Cupid's bow width were determined by measuring the Cupid's bow peak to cheilion distance (cph-ch) and labiale superius to Cupid's bow peak distance (cph-ls), respectively 12,26 (Fig. 3).…”

Rotation-advancement repair (RAR) has been the most widely used technique for unilateral cleft lip repair. We recently used a straight-line repair with medial orbicularis muscle lengthening (SLR-ml) technique, based on the hypothesis that it could minimize the postoperative scar appearance without causing s short-lip deformity when muscle reorientation is performed correctly. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on unilateral complete cleft lip patients who underwent cheiloplasty between 2009 and 2017. Two cheiloplasty techniques were compared: RAR and SLR-ml. Outcomes were evaluated by assessing follow-up photographs using three methods: (1) glance impression on a five-point scale, (2) Manchester Scar Scale, and (3) indirect anthropometry. Seventy-one patients were analysed: 41 in the RAR group (28 male, 13 female) and 30 in the SLR-ml group (15 male, 15 female). The glance impression (P = 0.506) and Manchester Scar Scale (P = 0.347) scores did not differ between the groups. According to the symmetry ratio (cleft side value/non-cleft side value), vertical lip height (P = 0.804), horizontal lip length (P = 0.881), and Cupid's bow width (P = 0.122) did not differ significantly between the groups. The preoperative lip height discrepancy was not correlated with the postoperative vertical lip height. The SLR-ml method can be regarded as a successful tool for symmetric repair of unilateral cleft lip.

Introduction: Since early days of medicine, there has always been a need for evidence based practices which enable the physician to determine the best treatment strategies and replicate the results again and again. The importance of evidence based medicine was stressed by Hippocrates who declared that the physician needs to "rely on actual evidence rather than on conclusion resulting solely from reasoning because arguments in the form of idle words are erroneous and can be easily refuted." (1) Aim of the work: The aims of our study are to evaluate and assess the advantages, disadvantages, and outcomes of Mishra technique in unilateral complete or incomplete cleft lip repair. Patients and Methods: Our study is a prospective study which was conducted at Minia University Pediatric Hospital. We enrolled 50 patients with unilateral cleft lip operated upon with Mishra technique from September 2020 to September 2021. Results: A total of 50 pediatric patients with unilateral cleft lip were included in our study at
