“…Furthermore, our study demonstrates that repairs by both the TR and Millard techniques were effective. Our findings are consistent with those of Bilwatsch et al 27 and Hakim et al 18 , who independently evaluated Millard's and Tennison-Randall techniques, respectively. Hakim et al 18 performed postoperative digital anthropometry on 18 patients who received UCL repairs with rotation-advancement and they compared these to normal controls.…”

“…This might suggest that the non-cleft side is a poor control for the repaired cleft side, possibly due to a compensatory hypertrophy on the non-cleft side. Symmetry of the cleft side with the control but not with the non-cleft side has been reported in other studies 18 28 . Consequently, it is now being speculated that the non-cleft side may not be an appropriate control for the cleft side 28 .…”

“…The evaluation tools employed by these methods can be grouped into the following categories: direct clinical assessment, clinical photographic evaluation, clinical videographic assessment, and three-dimensional evaluation 15 . Clinical photographic evaluation is generally quick, cheap, and easy 15 , and this evaluation method can be done qualitatively, as demonstrated by several studies 10 16 17 18 .…”

ObjectivesThe unilateral cleft lip (UCL) repair technique has evolved extensively over the past century into its modern form and has been identified as an important determinant of treatment outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare treatment outcomes following repair of UCL using either the Tennison-Randall (triangular) technique or the Millard rotation-advancement technique.Materials and MethodsThis was a prospective randomized controlled study conducted at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital between January 2013 and July 2014. A total of 48 subjects with UCL presenting for primary surgery and who satisfied the inclusion criteria were recruited for the study. The subjects were randomly allocated into two surgical groups through balloting. Group A underwent cleft repair with the Tennison-Randall technique, while group B underwent cleft repair with the Millard rotation-advancement technique. Surgical outcome was assessed quantitatively according to anthropometric measurements, using a method described by Cutting and Dayan (2003).ResultsOur 48 enrolled subjects were evenly divided into the two surgery groups (n=24 for both group A and group B). Twenty-seven subjects were male (56.3%) and 21 were female (43.8%), making a sex ratio of 1.3:1. The Millard group showed a greater increase in postoperative horizontal length and vertical lip height and a greater reduction in nasal width and total nasal width. Meanwhile, the Tennison-Randall group showed better reduction of Cupid's-bow width and better philtral height.ConclusionWe did not find any significant differences in the surgical outcomes from the two techniques. The expertise of the surgeon and individual patient preferences are the main factors to consider when selecting the technique for unilateral cleft repair.

“…Although a completely symmetrical facial surface does not occur in nature and is not achievable by surgery, it is also obvious that perceivable deviations from symmetry are no desirable result of surgery. This has, e.g., been shown with respect to the perception of facial asymmetry in rhinoplasty patients [8] and is widely accepted in the context of surgical procedures concerning the correction of a cleft lip and palate [12,22,23,25]. Thus, maintaining or restoring a symmetric appearance is also a primary goal when, e.g., designing craniofacial prostheses [21].…”

“…There are multiple computer methodics for face asymmetries assessment [50,51]. Computer methods demonstrate expressed valuable differences between men and women [52,53]. Face asymmetry was assessed in right-and left-handed men and women by means of posteroanterior radiographic cephalometry method [54]: areas on the left were significantly larger than those on the right in right-handers; lefthanders were inconsistent in asymmetry though they had tendency to have larger facial areas on the right than on the left.…”

Asymmetry study is realized at alive matter organization different levels beginning from micro-and ending with macro-the most comfortable of which represents population-species which expression is sinistrality. There are so called "left diseases" and other distinguishing features which can be thought as so-called pathological asymmetry. Here are several examples of them: intellectual disability or stuttering (on EEG in the second case) [1, 2], learning developmental disorders [3], dyslexias [4], dysgraphias, attention deficiency and hyperactivity syndrome, autism spectrum disorders [5, 6], mirror writing [7], coordination disorders [8] and apraxias [9], epilepsy (left-handed children get sick on it in earlier age and the disease rate is higher in them comparatively to right-handers or even it is absent in right-handers according to another point of view) [10, 11]. There exists handedness neuropsychiatric pattern [12]. It concerns to schyzophreny, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases dominance in left-handers [13]. Normal brain asymmetry is thought to be connected with VIP gene expression [14]. There is a point of view about pathological right-handedness with temporal epilepsy [15] and heart-vascular problems bigger distribution in dexters.
