A comprehensive repair of unilateral cleft lip in adults.

A comprehensive operation for primary repair of adult cleft lip is described. The technique employs pyriform fossa bone graft, submucosal resection of the nasal septum and alar cartilage onlay graft in addition to a modified rotation advancement with refinements. Good results were obtained in 70% of the cases with no increase in morbidity.
