A novel cleft rhinoplasty procedure combining an open rhinoplasty with the Dibbell and Tajima techniques: a 10-year review.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:The authors assessed the safety and efficacy of a novel cleft rhinoplasty procedure that combines an open rhinoplasty with the Dibbell and Tajima techniques. METHODS:A single-surgeon, 10-year, retrospective review was conducted of all unilateral cleft lip rhinoplasties (n = 157). Nonsyndromic patients undergoing a combined open incision/Dibbell/Tajima procedure and who had follow-up of greater than 8 months were included. Thirty-five patients were identified. Standardized patient photographs were studied in 18 patients who had both preoperative and 1-year postoperative photographs. Farkas normal values were applied to the medial canthal distance; from this value, metric measurements of changes in alar base width, columellar height, and nostril apex height were derived. RESULTS:There were no complications secondary to skin envelope ischemia or cartilage graft infection. The revision rate was 11 percent for alar base position, 3 percent for depressed lower lateral cartilage, and 3 percent for nostril apex overhang. After the procedure, there was a statistically significant decrease in alar base width (19.9 mm versus 18.2 mm; p < 0.01) and an increase in columellar height (8.37 mm versus 9.59 mm; p = 0.02) and nostril apex height (4.70 mm versus 5.44 mm; p = 0.02) on the affected side. The differences in alar base width, columellar height, and nostril apex height between the affected and nonaffected sides all decreased significantly postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS:The combined open rhinoplasty/Dibbell/Tajima procedure is safe, has a low revision rate, and is associated with a statistically significant decrease in alar base width, an increase in columellar height and nostril apex height, and a greater symmetry of nasal form.
