---The anatomy of the cleft lip is different for each patient and many authors have been described modifications of traditional techniques in order to obtain a more individual design and better results. Millard’s technique is probably the most common surgical technique used by surgeons around the world, however there are some short-comings to repair complete clefts with deficiency of tissues of the lateral segment. In that way, we have developed a new technique which corrects the medial and lateral lip segment’s deficiency in complete unilateral cleft lip. This technique is based on a double rotation advancement concept placing the scars over the natural lines between the aesthetic subunits of the upper lip. This study evaluates the symmetry obtained with the use of this technique in the surgical treatment of the complete unilateral cleft lips. METHODS. This is a prospective analytic observational cohort study. It evaluates the utility of a new technique for surgical treatment in 30 consecutive patients with complete unilateral cleft lip after one year of the surgery making the pre and postoperatory anthropometric measurements. The Wilcoxon and t-student tests and level of confidence of 95 % were performed to assess the statistical significance of differences between the cleft side and non-cleft side (p < 0.05). RESULTS This study found no statistically significant differences between cleft side and non-cleft side lip height (p=0.310), lip width (p=0.425) and vermilion height (p=0.283) after lip repair using this technique. However there were significant differences between cleft side and non-cleft side nasal base width (p: 0.01). CONCLUSIONS. We observed the lip symmetry obtained in cases of complete unilateral cleft lip with the use of the upper double rotation and advancement technique. Key words: Unilateral cleft lip Surgical technique
