New York University (NYU) Langone Health Researcher Describes Recent Advances in Cleft Lip and Palate (Quantifying Sagittal Lip Changes in Patients with Bilateral Cleft Lip Post Abbe Flap Reconstruction).

A recent study conducted at New York University (NYU) Langone Health examined the sagittal lip changes in patients with bilateral cleft lip after Abbe flap reconstruction. The study included 17 patients who underwent the procedure, and their lip changes were evaluated using various reference lines. The results showed an increase in upper lip sagittal projection after the reconstruction. The findings of this study can be useful for operative planning and setting patient expectations during counseling. [Extracted from the article]
