Abstract
Background:Minor true hare lip is rare central midline deficiency of the upper lip. There are multiple techniques but little consensus on the preferred surgical technique.Materials And Methods:A transoral approach for repair using mucosal V–Y plasty is described by employing a vertical inverted V incision.Result:The contour of the free labial border immediately improves with avoidance of skin scar.Conclusions:The midline cleft lip notch or minor true (hare lip) midline clefts can be effectively treated by mucosal lengthening using a V–Y plasty. Moreover, the ability to augment the tubercle with mucosa through a VY plasty is simple and easy.
