Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, School of Medicine, Hokkaido University, Japan.

From 1970 to 1987 we treated 213 patients with bilateral cleft lip at Hokkaido University Hospital and its several branch hospitals. The patients were grouped into 3 types according to the shape of the clefting prolabium. Group 1: complete clefts bilaterally, group 2: incomplete clefts bilaterally, group 3: combination of complete and incomplete clefts. From 1974 to 1987 we treated 176 bilateral cleft lip patients by the Manchester method using several modifications. Presurgical oral orthopaedics, using head cap and orthodontic appliance devised by Dr Peat, was applied to 110 of the 176 cases. Surgical results were satisfactory and the Manchester method is our preferred procedure for bilateral cleft lip repair.
