Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of orbicularis oris muscle z-plasty modification of modified Millard technique on the esthetic outcome and length of the repaired lip

Detailed description

forty patients with a unilateral cleft lip will be enrolled in this randomized comparative study. The patients will be divided into two groups, the control (group A) who treated with the modified Millard technique and the study group who repaired by orbicularis oris muscle Zplasty modification of modified Millard technique (group B).

Conditions

• Cleft Lip

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	orbicularis oris muscle Z- plasty modification of modified millard technique	After orbicularis oris muscle had been released from the overlying skin, the previously marked points using methylene blue for designing the z-plasty were shown to be followed by back-cut incisions including the OOM and inner mucosa in both medial and lateral elements without involving the overlying skin. This procedure resulted in two triangular flaps in both segments
PROCEDURE	modified millard technique	no z-plasty modification
