Abstract
To explore a new method to correct the whistle deformity in bilateral cleft lip. A lower lip bipedicle orbicularis oris musculomucosal island flap was designed to repair the upper vermilion defect.The pedicle of this flap was deepidermidalized and then embedded into the upper lip. The dry lip in the central was reserved to reconstruct the vermilion tubercle. From Aug.2013 to Aug.2015,10 cases were treated successfully with primary healing. With the follow-up period of 5-17 months, the appearance of upper lip was greatly improved with a balanced proportion and full lip tubercle. This lower lip bipedicle orbicularis oris musculomucosal island flap is an ideal method for the correction of whistle deformity in bilateral cleft lip.
