Virtual noses help surgeons plan better breathing outcomes for cleft lip patients

NCT ID NCT04150783

Summary

This study used advanced computer simulations to create 3D models of the nasal airways in adults with a cleft lip and nose deformity. Researchers analyzed airflow in these models before and after surgery to measure how well the operation restored normal breathing. The goal is to use this computer modeling to better understand surgical outcomes and potentially improve future treatment planning.
