A technique is presented for the correction of the whistling deformity of the upper lip, which is commonly seen in patients with repaired bilateral cleft lip. Two opposing transposition flaps based on the central portion of the upper vermilion are used. The shape of these flaps resembles a two-bladed propeller, thus we call the technique the "propeller flap". Each of the blades is rotated 180 degrees and the resulting dog-ear helps to add volume to the upper lip tubercle. Some representative cases are presented.
本文介绍了一种用于矫正双侧唇裂修复术后患者常见的上唇口哨样畸形的技术。使用了两个基于上唇朱红色中央部分的相对移位皮瓣。这些皮瓣的形状类似于双叶螺旋桨，因此我们将该技术称为“螺旋桨皮瓣”技术。每个叶瓣旋转180度，由此产生的三角瓣有助于增加上唇结节的体积。文中展示了一些典型病例。
