Abstract:

BACKGROUND: There are few reports on transplantation of autologous dermal fat flap for cleft lip deformity, but selection and repair effect both has obvious advantages.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate application of autologous dermal fat flap transplantation on secondary cleft lip deformity repair, and evaluate and analyze the repair effect.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis data of 91 patients whose secondary lip upper with different degrees of depression after autologous dermal fat flap from different parts used for lip transplantation. Eversion degree of lips on lips, survival and absorption of autologous dermal fat flap and repair effect of upper lip were observed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Survival and absorption of dermal fat flap, eversion degree of lips on lips were observed at 6 months after repairing. Seventy-six in 91 cases were followed-up, 61 cases of composite dermal fat flap survived well and the effect was satisfactory. Four cases was severely absorption, 2 cases was filled with excessive dermal fat flap real flap and 9 cases were lacked of upper lip eversion, All the cases obtained satisfactory effect after repair again at 6 months. Tansplantation of autologous dermal fat flap for introcession malformation of cleft lip can obtain good effect in local defects depression.
