cleft side value / noncleft side value) assessed by indirect anthropometry, vertical lip height (sbal-cph), horizontal lip length (cph-ch), and Cupid’s bow width (cph-ls) did not differ significantly between groups (p=0.411, p=0.496, and p=0.879, respectively). Preoperative lip height discrepancy was not significantly correlated with the postoperative vertical lip height (sbal-cph).Conclusions: Straight-line repair method can be regarded as a successful tool for symmetric repair of unilateral cleft lip without causing a short lip deformity. Since skin incision type did not affect the surgical outcome, muscle reorientation appears to be more important for cleft lip repair than skin incision.
