이개연골 Conchal Cartilage

Large nasal defects that cannot be addressed with forehead flaps often require microsurgical free flap-based reconstructions. The temporoparietal fascial flap (TPFF) has been described for nasal reconstruction, but no reports have shown the…

[BACKGROUND] Cartilage grafts are essential in rhinoplasty, particularly in revision cases that require structural support. Fresh frozen cartilage allografts (FFCA) have been proposed as an alternative to autografts to avoid donor site morb…

[BACKGROUND] Due to the inherent fragility of septal and auricular cartilage, insufficient graft availability during surgery, and technical limitations in nasal tip framework construction, we modified the cartilage harvesting techniques and…

[OBJECTIVE] To provide an overview on auricular molding and to investigate whether breastfeeding is associated with greater cartilage malleability or improved perinatal auricular molding outcomes. [DATA SOURCES] Embase, MEDLINE, and CENTRA…

[BACKGROUND] Structural rhinoplasty is a complex surgical procedure that aims to restore and enhance nasal structure and function by reconstructing the underlying framework. Robust grafting material is required for durable results. For revi…

[BACKGROUND] Achieving functional results in nasal reconstruction necessitates a focus on structural integrity. Surgeons are often challenged by limited supply of donor material for grafting. This study aims to determine the types and mater…

[BACKGROUND] During rhinoplasty, there is often a need to perform camouflage and esthetic augmentation of the nasal dorsum. Some of the most well-studied methods include the use of deep temporal fascia and diced cartilage in fascia. Due to …

[BACKGROUND] Although porous high-density polyethylene (pHDPE) is increasingly utilized in East Asian rhinoplasty, complications like perforation remain problematic. [OBJECTIVES] This study evaluated autologous auricular cartilage-augmente…

[BACKGROUND] In rhinoplasty, the open approach carries potential risks such as hypertrophic scarring, while synthetic implants carry potential risks like infection. Therefore, we propose a new technique that utilizes exclusively auricular c…

Aesthetic rhinoplasty relies on a stable framework for long-term structural integrity, often requiring autogenous cartilage grafts. While conchal cartilage is commonly used, its volume may be insufficient, particularly in secondary or revis…

[IMPORTANCE] Prominent ear deformities can negatively impact self-esteem and social well-being. Surgical otoplasty is effective but is associated with complications, longer recovery, and altered ear contours. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the ef…

Keloid scars and epidermoid cysts present unique challenges in plastic surgery, often requiring distinct diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Keloid scars result from dysregulated wound healing characterized by collagen overproduction and…

[BACKGROUND] The risk-to-benefit ratio of operating on the cleft nasal deformity in the period of mixed dentition remains debated. This study characterizes the authors' 18-year experience with intermediate cleft rhinoplasties to add data an…

[BACKGROUND] To date, it has been a unanimous consent that the conchal cartilage is harvested at subperichondrial plane for the anterior side, and perichondrial level for the posterior dissection. This method has never been challenged, desp…

[BACKGROUND] Columellar incision techniques for multiply operated and/or severely compromised noses are critical in reconstructive rhinoplasty, because they impact both the final outcome and the risk of complications, such as wound dehiscen…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous cartilage has been extensively employed in nasal tip plasty procedures. Nevertheless, long-term resorption rates of autologous cartilage grafts, particularly on the nasal tip, remain uncertain to surgeons worldwide. …

Secondary unilateral cleft lip (UCL) rhinoplasty is challenging for plastic surgeons, and therefore there are still risks of complications and the need for revision. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis for pati…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic augmentative rhinoplasty (CAR) can alter undesirable nasal features, increasing people's self-confidence and encouraging social activities. [METHODS] Pathogens that caused postoperative infection after CAR between Jan…

Introduction Rhinoplasty is one of the most intricate procedures in facial plastic surgery, requiring a balance between functional restoration and aesthetic refinement. The existing literature often emphasizes comparisons between surgical t…

Augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone implants is frequently performed in Asian populations. Nasal trauma in individuals with prior silicone-based augmentation may result in concurrent nasal bone and implant fractures, complicating managem…
