  • LATERAL COLUMELLA BASE- LABRUM TRANSPOSITION FLAP FOR REPAIRING MILD UNILATERAL ECLABIUM DEFORMITY OF UPPER LIP

    Objective To study the feasibil ity of repairing the mild unilateral eclabium deformity of the upper l ip with the lateral columella base-labrum transposition flap. Methods From March 2006 to March 2008, 8 patients with mild unilateral eclabium of the upper l i p were repaired with the lateral columella base-labrum transposition flap. There were 4 males and 4 females, aging 18-51 years. There were 5 at left sides and 3 at right sides. All mild unilateral eclabium were attributed to the contracture of scar after trauma. The disease course was 1 to 5 years (average 2.5 years). The size ofthe transposition flaps ranged from 1.5 cm × 1.4 cm to 1.6 cm × 1.5 cm. Results All the flaps survived and incision healed by first intention. The eclabiun deformity was corrected. The postoperative follow-up period was 3-18 months with an average of 9.9 months. All the patients remained just soft l inear scars without hyperplasia. The nostril and columella hardly changed compared with the postoperative immediate view. Conclusion The mild unilateral eclabium deformity of upper l i p repairing with lateral columella base-labrum transposition flap is an easy, mininally invasive and nearly no secondary malformation method.
