Abstract

Summary A technique for correction of cleft lip is described in which there is no sacrifice of tissue, the anatomical structures are preserved and the shorter philtrum column is lengthened by means of a Z-plasty applied only to the skin. The method is easy and the results are satisfactory. The writers present their experience in fifty-nine cases treated by this method.
