چکیده
METHODS: Preand post-operative anthropometric measurements and standardized medical photographs were collected of patients with bilateral cleft lip during medical missions conducted by Operation Smile in Bolivia, Madagascar, Morocco and Vietnam. Ratios of nostril width, cleft width and lip transverse length, as well as measurements of philtral height and the columellar-philtral angle, were calculated and compared preand postoperatively. Two experienced cleft surgeons and two non-medical lay persons subjectively ranked both preand postoperative medical photographs based on perceived severity. Using these rankings, we assessed which facial ratios were most predictive of ranking scores.
