Beschreibungen/Notizen
A bilateral cleft lip and palate case received ornithine-vasopressin intra-operatively in preparation for a vasoconstricted field of the various lip segments prior to the repair of the cleft lip. A cyanotic tinge appeared immediately. This eventually led to total necrosis of the upper lip. Various relevant blood tests were done and a mild thrombocytosis was found. Surgical reconstruction of the upper lip was performed by means of a forked cross-lip flap--the main blood supply coming from the columella--as well as by means of an inferiorly pedicled cheek flap from the para-nasal area.
