Abstract
Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common congenital facial abnormalities affecting the orofacial region, with an incidence of 1 in 600/800 live births. In Indonesia, the incidence of cleft lip and palate is about 1 in every 1000 births. Cleft lip and cleft palate could occur isolated or together in various combinations and often lead to nasal asymmetry. The management of such deformities often requires a multidisciplinary approach, requiring numerous interventions, which include primary rhinoplasty. There are multiple types of rhinoplasties including open-type, semi-open type, and closed-type rhinoplasty. This article aims to review the nasal aesthetical outcomes of patients who have undergone closed rhinoplasty in primary cleft lip and palate repair. By analyzing various articles, we seek to determine the efficacy of closed rhinoplasty in primary cleft lip repair on the nasal aesthetics of the patients when compared to other procedures. Among the types of rhinoplasty, closed rhinoplasty is still a viable option. Although there was no significant difference between the cosmetic results of open-type rhinoplasties when compared to closed rhinoplasties, patients may prefer closed rhinoplasty as it is minimally invasive and provides less scarring. Overall, further research is required to determine the gold standard practice and ensure the optimal strategical approach to achieve the best outcomes.
