Cleft Lip Repair: Trends of Nasoalveolar Molding, Concomitant Tip Rhinoplasty and/or Septoplasty, and Revisions Using a National Database Study
This study highlights the dynamic evolution of cleft care. Advancing surgical techniques may contribute to increased correction of cleft lip nasal deformity at the time of primary cleft lip repair, improved initial repair, and subsequent decrease in revision rates. Over the time period of the study, we have seen increased utilization of NAM.
