Our experience with the Cronin and Millard techniques for the treatment of secondary bilateral cleft lip nose

Abstract

Our experience with the Cronin and Millard techniques for the treatment of the secondary bilateral cleft lip nose has been evaluated by an objective photogrammetric method. The method involved uses measurements from photographs. The statistical analysis has revealed that elongation of columella, narrowing of alar bases, normalization of nasolabial angle and nostril position have been accomplished by both the Cronin and Millard techniques; there was no statistical difference between the two techniques in achieving these corrections. © 1991 Springer-Verlag.
