이개연골 Conchal Cartilage

A conchal cartilage graft without skin or mucosa was used as a posterior lining for lower eyelid reconstruction in seven patients. The raw surface of the graft was smooth enough to cause no corneal irritation and was epithelialized from the…

Temporary tissue expanders have been used in general plastic surgery to expand skin for breast reconstruction and for scar revision. A specifically designed eyelid tissue expander was used to reconstruct both upper and lower eyelids in a pa…

The naso-ocular cleft is a rare defect; however, isolated alar clefts with or without additional hamartomatous local tissue are an even rarer problem. The authors describe six unilateral and one bilateral cleft patients who were all initial…

Correction of defects of the external ear following trauma or partial amputation for cancerous lesions is difficult. A flap from the medial surface of the auricle has been devised to correct the deformity. The flap is either introduced thro…

Otoplasty should restructure the cartilage framework of the ear with permanent results. Major techniques include the placement of permanent sutures, with or without concomitant cartilage scoring, and cartilage abrasion alone. Our study eval…

The most common procedures to reconstruct a severe saddle-nose deformity are autogenous costal cartilage, iliac bone grafting, or Silastic implants. Each of them has its specific disadvantages. As an alternative solution, an autogenous bila…

The technique of rhytidectomy used by the authors for the oriental face is explained. The main points of this operative procedure are: 1) the incision line is designed before the operation, 2) subcutaneous undermining is easy, 3) the key su…

By combining the very old concept of using fresh cadaver homograft ear cartilage with the more modern idea of a musculo-cutaneous flap, a new ear has been constructed for a patient who was considered unsuitable for standard reconstructive p…

Auricular cartilage can be used extensively in a number of procedures by the ophthalmic plastic surgeon. It is ideal for the lengthening of eyelids, and also has a place in eyelid reconstruction, surgery for trichiasis, and the anophthalmic…

Following satisfactory experiences in the treatment of abscesses of the nasal septum, preserved rib cartilage without its perichondrium was used in the immediate reconstruction of the pinna following the excision of all diseased cartilage a…

The key points in our method of repair of cryptotia are (1) to cover the skin defect on the posterior aspect of the ear after it is dissected from the head, and (2) to repair the cartilaginous deformity. We describe the use of a temporal sk…

Animal experiments with flaps and free grafts of perichondrium have produced new cartilage. The presence of blood seems to promote the formation of new cartilage in such instances. These perichondrial grafts have been used to produce better…

Mattress sutures from conchal cartilage to mastoid fascia, from scaphoid fossa to temporal fascia, from scapha to concha, and from the earlobe to the sternocleidomastoid muscle insertion give a satisfactory correction of most prominent ears…

We describe the correction of lower eyelid ptosis in patients with an anophthalmic orbit, using ear cartilage grafts. This procedure has been particularly useful in the scarred or previously reconstructed lower eyelid.…

Perforating radiogenic defects of the auricle in the area of the cymba, conchal cavity and triangular fossa can be reconstructed in a one stage procedure by a pedicled composite flap of conchal cartilage and skin. The conchal donor area is …

Five pedicle flaps and one auricular composite graft deserve increased use and attention in nasal reconstructive surgery. All have in common the high possibility of superior functional and esthetic results while requiring the payment of a m…
