Abstract

Management of the rare craniofacial clefts requires correction of both the soft tissue and skeletal hypoplasia. Tissue expansion of adjacent and distant soft tissue has been used to reconstruct these facial clefts with like quality tissue. Additionally, such soft tissue expansion permits tension free reconstruction of the skeletal clefts by osteotomy and bone graft.
