Abstract

Background: Congenital anatomic abnormalities, surgical scarring, and growth-related alterations all contribute to the ever-changing appearance of the cleft nasal malformation. In addition to nasal obstruction, symptoms of this condition include a shorter columella, depressed nasal tip, dislocated alar cartilage on both sides, everted alar bases, and a shortened ala. Aim and objective: assessment and outcomes of Tip definition in post cleft rhinoplasty. (Meta-analysis). Patients and Methods: This study was a meta-analysis study done in Department of plastic Surgery and Burn, Faculty of Medicine-Al Azhar University on 639 cases. Articles published within the previous five years that met the inclusion requirements. We ended up including 11 studies after reviewing them. Results: there was a statistically significant variance amongst the studied population as regard Meta-analysis for nostril area ratio, Meta-analysis for the symmetry and Meta-analysis for complications. There was no statistically significant variance among the studied population as regard Meta-analysis for tip deviation. Conclusion: In conclusion; the current study showed that the aesthetic results of employing costal cartilage to repair a cleft in a subsequent rhinoplasty are good.
