dc.description.abstract Background: Lip and nose symmetry the goal of repair of unilateral cleft lip and different preoperative and postoperative treatments have been developed with this purpose. The objective of this study was to compare 2 techniques used for primary cleft lip nose repair. Materials and Methods: This is an retrospective study between 2 groups of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate who underwent primary nasolabial repair either with or without postoperative nasal conformers. Data collection was accomplished by evaluation of nasal symmetry through anthropometric measurements under general anesthesia during primary cleft palate repair. Results: Our comparative study did not find a statistically significant difference regarding percentile indexes of nasal asymmetry between the 2 groups. Major revision requirement (>3 mm of asymmetry in any of the nose measurements) was observed in 3.84% of nasal conformer group and 4.65% of the group without nasal conformers. Conclusions: The results obtained from this study provides showed that placement of postoperative nasal conformers did not improve nasal symmetry in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. Based on these findings and available scientific evidence, definitive conclusions about the effectiveness of these devices on nasal symmetry after unilateral cleft lip nose repair cannot be drawn. en_US
