These differences may impact surgical performance and outcomes of right- versus left-sided cleft repairs. The authors compared outcomes of left- and right-sided unilateral cleft repairs using a prospectively collected international dataset. Prospectively collected pre- and postoperative anthropometric measurements including columellar angle, cleft width, nostril widths, vertical lip heights, and horizontal vermillion lengths were compared between right- and left-sided unilateral cleft lip patients in Morocco, Bolivia, Vietnam, and Madagascar. Based on previous sociologic and cleft outcome studies, “unacceptable” postoperative outcomes were defined as those with a cleft-side/non–cleft-side vertical lip height discrepancy greater than 3 mm. Sixty-one percent of the 143 study patients had left-sided clefts. Mean preoperative cleft width ratios and the proportion of “severe” (cleft width ratio >= 0.5) clefts did not differ between right- and left-sided cleft lip patients. No differences were noted in postoperative lip vertical height ratios or the proportion of “acceptable” and “unacceptable” repair results between right- and left-sided cleft lips. Finally, no differences were noted in operative time between right- and left-sided cleft lips. In summary, using a prospectively collected international dataset, no significant differences were noted between left- and right-sided unilateral cleft lips in terms of severity, operative times, or ultimate outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50084,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery","volume":"108 ","pages":"Pages 123-128"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144750766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
