Abstract 

Over the last three decades bilateral cleft lip and nose repair has been characterised by a trend towards more detailed reconstruction of the nasolabial muscles together with simultaneous correction of the deformity. An understanding of the true nature of the nasal deformity in bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) has gradually emerged, and has inspired new approaches to their repair. This article discusses recent trends and controversies in primary cheilorhinoplasty for BCLP.

Keywords: Bilateral cleft lip and nose repair, Primary cheilorhinoplasty, Nasoalveolar moulding
