We prospectively and randomly compared triangular and rotation-advancement unilateral cleft lip repairs in 35 patients. The most significant difference between the two repairs noted in this series was a greater frequency of hypertrophic scars following rotation-advancement repairs. The overall appearance of the lip and nose postoperatively was the same in both groups.
