La septoplastie lors de la chéilorhinoplastie primaire dans les fentes labio-palatines unilatérales

Primary repair of cleft lip and palate has become a nasal and lip repair. In the aim to improve our nasal results on symmetry we perform an extensive septoplasty to put the nose in a good shape and a median axis. This septoplasty without resection of cartilage does not cause growth disorders to the nose and it promotes maxillary growth by improving early nasal breathing. It can prevent secondary rhinoplasty, source of new scars (externally, fork). But rhinoplasty will increase the incidence of scar contraction, thus shaping with a nasal conformer is essential.
