摘要
This report describes a two-step surgical correction of an isolated left-sided congenital alar cleft in a 21-year-old male patient presenting with a 9×6.5 mm^(2)-sized cleft.Malformations of the alar structure and displacement of the lower lateral cartilage were observed.All flaps survived,and the patient was completely satisfied with the surgical results.This surgical treatment is simple and reliable,can greatly improve the nasal appearance of patients with alar clefts,and may be an alternative to the current surgical treatment.
