Summary

This study used computer models to simulate airflow in the noses of 12 adults with a cleft lip nasal deformity. The goal was to better understand how the condition affects breathing and to see how well current surgeries restore normal nasal function. Researchers hope this will lead to improved surgical outcomes for patients.
