Growth of the Nose and the Septorhinoplastic Problem in Youth

Septoplasty During Primary Cleft Lip Reconstruction: A Historical Perspective and Scoping Review

“…This included some of the first descriptions of broadening and saddle-shape deformity of the nose post-submucous resection, affecting 10 (32%) of the 31 patients recorded. Similar observations by Ombredanne and Gilbert solidified surgical angst towards radical procedures on the growing nasal septum of children 10,11 …”

“…Similar observations by Ombredanne and Gilbert solidified surgical angst towards radical procedures on the growing nasal septum of children. 10,11 By the mid-20th century, plastic surgeons were coming to a broader appreciation of the nasal septum as a critical feature of midfacial growth. Fick, Landsberger's and Scott's classical thesis proposed that the septum formed a central growth plate for the face and a propulsive force on the underlying midface.…”

Using “Real-World Data” to Study Cleft Lip/Palate Care: An Exploration of Speech Outcomes from a Multi-Center US Learning Health Network

“…Adding to this picture, ACCQUIREnet's data suggested that VPC may have been perceived to be more competent in these 3y-olds than in these 5y- and 8y-olds. The possible worsening of velopharyngeal function around age 5y corresponded with a known period of rapid midfacial growth 70 that may have worsened underlying velopharyngeal dysfunction. This apparent worsening of VPC may also have been due to better articulatory precision, increased participation, and longer utterances among 5y- and 8y-olds in the speech evaluation.…”

Morphological Analysis of Nose in Patients of Tessier No. 0 Cleft With a Bifid Nose in China

“…At present, the optimum age of correction is a debatable issue. In the past, many scholars were against surgical intervention due to the potential damage to the development of nasal growth ( 32 , 33 ). Afterward, many surgeons recommended early surgery because they found no adverse effect on nasal development ( 26 , 34 ).…”
