OBJECTIVE To present technical modifications to the original presurgical nasal remodeling appliance introduced in 1991. The purpose of the modifications is to improve the cleft nasal deformity before unilateral and bilateral cleft lip repair. METHOD The principle behind this technique, known as dynamic presurgical nasal remodeling (DPNR), is the use of the force generated during suction and s...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare nostril height, width, collumelar length, interalar distance and nostril symetry between unilateral complete cleft lip/palate patients undergoing nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) and incomplete cleft lip patients/palate with no need of presurgical moulding before and after cheiloplasty with primary nasal correction. Our study group included 18 patients...

Congenital anomalies of the hand form an important class of congenital malformations. They have a huge functional importance because of the part played by the hand in the daily activities of a person.

CONTEXT The cleft lip type nasal deformity presents one of the most complex surgical challenges. The long-term postoperative results are still not satisfactory despite an emphasis on primary nasal correction. This is attributed to tissue memory and healing. Nasoalveolar molding is used effectively to reshape the nasal cartilage and to mold the maxillary arch before cleft lip repair. AIMS This...

BACKGROUND/AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the Neurological Hand Deformity Classification and use it to describe changes in hand deformity over time in children with cerebral palsy. METHODS We identified 114 video clips of 26 children with cerebral palsy, aged 1-18 years (mean = 8.4, SD = 4.2), performing upper-limb tasks at multiple time points (n = 3-8) at l...

Aim: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) deformity is the most common type of craniofacial malformation usually corrected surgically in infancy. Anesthetic management children undergoing CLP repair has many challenges. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate effect prognostic factors on perioperative complications with cleft (CP) repair.
 Methods: pediatric cases who underwent surgery a tertiary ca...
