Objective Secondary rhinoplasty is a frequently requested revision procedure in patients with a history of cleft lip and palate (CLP). The satisfaction of patients with the esthetic outcome of the procedure has been infrequently studied. Design Adult patients with CLP who had undergone a secondary rhinoplasty between 2009 and 2019 were identified in a cross-sectional cohort that had filled the FACE-Q rhinoplasty module. The effect of the cleft type and the number and timing of the nasal revision surgeries were evaluated. Results Forty participants were included, median age of 26 years (range 18-59 years). Nine (23%) participants had a history of bilateral CLP. The median time form the last nasal operation to the study was 4.5 years (range 16 days to 10 years). The participants reported being satisfied with the appearance of the nose (median score 52, interquartile range [IQR] 44-60) but the satisfaction with the appearance of the nostrils (median score 44, IQR 30-64) was below the normative value for the scale. Patients with a history of bilateral CLP reported worse satisfaction across all the aspects of health-related quality of life assessed ( P &lt; .05 for all). No association was observed between the age at the first open rhinoplasty and satisfaction with the appearance of the nose or the nostrils. Conclusions Following secondary rhinoplasty, adults with CLP are, in general, satisfied with their nose but less so with nostrils. Compared to unilateral CLP, bilateral CLP is associated with a worse health-related quality of life.

Unilateral Cleft lip and Palate: Long-Term Results of the Malek Technique

Alar asymmetry in unilateral cleft lip (UCL) nasal deformity is a well-recognized clinical feature. However, there is a lack of comprehensive quantitative analysis of this asymmetry. This study compares the shape, volume, and axis rotation between the cleft and non-cleft ala in skeletally mature patients with UCL.

Objective To assess craniofacial and upper airway growth in infants with Robin sequence (RS) during the 1 st year of life when their severe upper airway obstruction was treated non-surgically with the Stanford orthodontic airway plate treatment program (SOAP). Design Retrospective longitudinal cohort study comparing SOAP-treated infants with RS (treatment group) with age-matched healthy controls (HC) using computed tomography (CT). Setting Single tertiary referral hospital. Patients Twelve SOAP-treated infants with RS. Interventions SOAP. Main Outcome Measures Craniofacial skeletal cephalometric parameters and three-dimensional airway metrics. Results No infants required mandibular distraction or tracheostomy surgery after SOAP. The pre-treatment CT was acquired at the mean age (±SD) of 1.3 months (±0.7). The treatment lasted for 4.8 months (±0.9). Post-treatment CT was acquired at 12.9 months (±2.3) of age. The pre-treatment obstructive apnea hypopnea index decreased from 29.21 events/hour (±14.80) to 4.11 events/hour (±2.21) at post-treatment. The total mandibular length increased from 40.58 mm (±2.98) to 62.15 mm (±2.77) at post-treatment (p &lt; 0.001) resulting in the growth velocity of 51.02% (±11.20) or 20.52 mm (±3.95) per year. The maxillary and mandibular lengths of the treatment group at post-treatment were shorter than those of HC although the maxillomandibular relationship was not different (p = 0.618). The upper airway volume and minimal cross-sectional area were also not different (p = 0.083, p = 0.254, respectively). Conclusions The maxillomandibular relationship and upper airway of the SOAP-treated infants with RS were near-normalized at post-treatment, comparable to age-matched healthy infants.

Main Objective To analyze postoperative palatoplasty outcomes before and after systemic protocol changes to preferred bottle and arm immobilizer use after surgery. Design Retrospective, cohort study. Setting Urban, academic, tertiary medical center in New York City, NY. Participants Eighty-four patients who underwent primary palatoplasty and met inclusion criteria during 1 of 2 treatment periods, 2016 to 2017 (group A, n = 45) and 2019 to 2020 (group B, n = 39). Interventions Protocols were amended over the 2018 calendar year to allow for utilization of the baby's preferred bottle (vs alternative feeding methods) and hand socks (vs arm immobilizers) in the immediate postoperative period. Data was extrapolated from electronic medical records to compare surgical outcomes. Main Outcome Measures Postoperative wound complications (fistula and dehiscence) that did not resolve within 1 month, length of stay (hours), and 30-day re-admission. Nonparametric Mann-Whitney U tests and Fisher's Exact test were utilized for statistical analysis. Results There were no statistically significant differences between sex, age at surgery, Veau classification, or hard and soft palate surgical repair technique. Group A had a wound complication rate of 8.7% (n = 4) versus a 2.6% rate (n = 1) for group B. No patients were re-admitted to the hospital from either group. There were no statistically significant differences between groups regarding length of stay ( P = .528) or wound complication ( P = .366). Conclusions The findings from this study suggest relaxing postoperative protocols following palatoplasty to allow immediate bottle feedings and unrestricted arm use may be safe without compromise to surgical outcomes.

Objective To date, there are no published studies From the Sultanate of Oman on the incidence or characteristics of craniosynostosis (CS). This is a population-based epidemiological study of the incidence of CS. Methods The prospective registry of the craniofacial surgery unit in Khoula Hospital was used to retrieve data on all individuals with CS treated between 2004 and 2023. The cohort was divided into four 5-year groups based on year of birth: 2004 to 2008, 2009 to 2013, 2014 to 2018, and 2019 to 2023. Results We identified 312 individuals with CS. The incidence increased significantly during the study period and was 2.5 per 10 000 live births in the last 5-year period. There was a male preponderance (male/female ratio 1.5:1). Our study findings reveal a notable diversity in the trend of suture involvement, we observed a higher frequency of complex CS within our study population 35.9%. Half of the study population was nonsyndromic, accounting for 51.6%. The nonsyndromic population exhibits a higher proportion of midline suture involvement. Conclusions The incidence of CS increased during the study period. The majority of cases were identified as nonsyndromic. We found that multiple sutures CS were the most prevalent overall in our population. It is imperative to intensify efforts aimed at raising awareness among the general population regarding these deformities.

Autologous fat grafting for posterior pharyngeal wall augmentation has been described as a safe and effective treatment option for a subset of patients with mild to moderate velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). Reported complications including hyponasality and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are exceedingly rare. We describe the development of severe fat graft hypertrophy and subsequent OSA in a series of 3 patients several years after undergoing autologous fat grafting for VPI. All patients required revisional surgery for the removal of the engrafted fat. Although rare, OSA can result from hypertrophy of autologous fat grafted into the posterior pharyngeal wall for treatment of VPI.
