Abstract: PURPOSE: To explore the effect of applying oral mucosal flap to repair nasal floor of patients with non-syndromic unilateral complete cleft lip in one-stage operation. METHODS: Sixteen patients with unilateral complete cleft lip treated at School of Stomatology, Medical College of Qingdao University from September 2014 to September 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Their nasal floor was repaired with oral mucosal flap. Photographs were taken before repair, 1 week and 1 year after surgery. The symmetry ratio of nasal floor and alar shape were calculated to analyze the clinical effect. SPSS 19.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: There was no oral-nasal fistulas(ONFs) and nasal floor notches in 16 cases. The nasal wing collapse was improved obviously. One year after operation, the symmetrical ratio of nasal floor width was 0.79±0.15, and the ratio of nostril width symmetry was 0.856±0.17, nostril height symmetry was 1.44±0.17, symmetrical ratio of nasal column was 1.62±0.48. There was significant difference before and after operation. CONCLUSIONS: Nasal floor repair in children with non-syndromic unilateral complete cleft lip with oral mucosal flap in one-stage operation can not only be beneficial to reduce the incidence of oral and nasal fistulas, but also help to close the fissure of nasal floor, restore the shape of nasal floor and properly correct nasal deformity.
