"Simonart's band" is an eponymic misnomer. In the mid-19th century, Pierre-Joseph Simonart described congenital bands in the limb, not in the lip. Shortly thereafter, Gustav Simon reported preliminary closure of bilateral cleft lip and thus deserves credit for labial adhesion (Simon's band). Labial adhesion was rediscovered 100 years later; however, with increasing use of infant-dentofacial orthopedics, its popularity has declined in many centers. The authors continue to use this procedure before formal repair of unilateral complete cleft lip/palate, unilateral complete cleft lip and alveolus, severe unilateral incomplete cleft lip, and bilateral asymmetrical cleft lip (on the complete side). Bilateral labial adhesion may also have a preparatory role in double cleft lip whenever dentofacial orthopedic manipulation is unavailable or unsuccessful.
“西莫纳尔特带”是一个因人名而产生的误称。19世纪中叶，皮埃尔 - 约瑟夫·西莫纳尔特描述的是肢体中的先天性束带，而非唇部。此后不久，古斯塔夫·西蒙报告了双侧唇裂的初步闭合情况，因此唇粘连（西蒙束带）应归功于他。唇粘连在100年后被重新发现；然而，随着婴儿牙颌面正畸学的使用增加，它在许多中心的受欢迎程度有所下降。作者继续在单侧完全性唇腭裂、单侧完全性唇裂和牙槽突裂、严重单侧不完全性唇裂以及双侧不对称性唇裂（完全侧）的正式修复之前使用该手术。每当牙颌面正畸操作不可行或不成功时，双侧唇粘连在双侧唇裂中也可能起到准备作用。
