The technique of recording nasal pharyngoscopy.

Nasal pharyngoscopy is a relatively simple and most informative technique requiring a small amount of very portable equipment. Recording the observations objectively is of considerable clinical and research value, but will require a two-man team, one of whom must be thoroughly versed in audio-visual communication techniques and apparatus. The equipment is more expensive and although it can be transported is probably best used at a routine site.

Nasal symmetry: a 10-year comparison between the Pigott and McComb nasal correction.

The objective assessment of the symmetry of the cleft lip nose has not been properly evaluated. A simple technique using enlarged photographs and area assessment is described. Two different techniques were assessed, the Pigott "alar leapfrog" technique and the McComb alar lift technique. The children were assessed at 10 years of age. The results show no differences in the linear measurements or when the symmetry is assessed in the frontal view. In the worm's eye view, the Pigott correction was shown to produce a more asymmetric nose when compared with the McComb technique. Both corrections produce significant asymmetry when compared with a control group.

Medial Langenbeck: experience of a modified Von Langenbeck repair of the cleft palate. A preliminary report.

Early experience of a modified Von Langenbeck repair of cleft palate is reported. In each case the traditional method of repair has been adopted, but with the relieving incision placed medial to the greater palatine artery. Out of a total of 40 patients over a 2-year period 8 were noted to have a fistula, of which 4 closed spontaneously, leaving 4 (10%) potentially requiring further surgery. The modified oral layer closure was conceived with muscle repair directed at restoring normal anatomy and concentrating on construction of a median dorsal convexity.
