Three-dimensional Assessment of Longitudinal Surgical Outcome in Patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate: A Modified Rotation Advancement Technique. Y Xu, M Yao, B Shi, et al.

We collected and assessed 3dMDface images of 115 consecutive patients who underwent primary repair between 2017 and 2019. 3dMD images were taken preoperatively, immediately postoperatively and at a first and second follow-up interval, occurring at an average year of 0.6 and 5.3 years, respectively.
