With great interest we have read the article “Acellular human dermis, a good option
for correcting the free border deficiency in secondary cleft lip deformity.” by KN
Lee and KS Koh.

The authors share their experience in correcting deficiency of the free border of
the upper lip after primary cleft lip repair using a combination of V-Y-advancement
of the labial mucosa with either acellular human dermis or temporoparietal fascia.
The authors report consistent volume of the augmented free border with both techniques
with a mean follow-up of more than a year.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment

- PreviewFree border deficiency is often seen after repairing the primary cleft lip. Mild deficiency of this area can be corrected by rearranging available local tissue, but, in severe cases, the absolute shortage of tissue requires recruitment of other tissues for a satisfying result. Although many types of materials have been used, filling materials alone have not provided favourable results. We have therefore attempted to overcome these limitations by combining V-Y advancement of the labial mucosa, with providing additional tissue to the deficient area with acellular human dermis or temporoparietal fascia.
