이개연골 Conchal Cartilage

[BACKGROUND] Auricular cartilage is widely used in rhinoplasty, but there are few studies on its biological changes after transplantation. [OBJECTIVES] This study investigated the biological transition of cartilage free grafts with and wit…

Prominent ear deformities often result from a combination of hypertrophic conchal cartilage and an underdeveloped antihelical fold. Traditional otoplasty techniques, such as antihelical folding sutures and conchal setback maneuvers, may int…

[AIM] Prominent ears are a common congenital deformity that can cause significant psychological distress, especially in school-age children. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and aesthetic outcomes of the ''inside-out'' otoplasty tec…

Patients who underwent cleft lip surgery in childhood may develop nasal malformation later in life. Various procedures have been described to correct these malformations. This study aims to describe our surgical approach and assess the morp…

[INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE] Conchal cartilage is recommended for correction of substance loss of the nose. Transfixing nose substance loss presents an anatomical, functional, and aesthetic restoration challenge. The rate of complications …

Prominent ear deformity, affecting up to 5% of the white population, is characterized by an absent antihelical fold and conchal cartilage hypertrophy. These anatomical changes can potentially alter auditory function, including speech intell…

 Augmentation rhinoplasty requires graft with substantial volume. In cases where patient is reluctant to use costal cartilage, this can be done using septum and conchal cartilage graft. Using the technique of "stacked cartilage graft" an as…

The stabilization of the midvault of the nose is an important facet of rhinoplasty. There are several techniques available to accomplish this. The use of autospreader flaps, and spreader grafts are among the most common techniques used. The…

Rhinoplasty aims to create a nose in harmony with an ideal face, help patients with specific aesthetic concerns, and improve the nose's function. So, learning all types of deformities and rhinoplasty procedures is essential to solving that …

An unusually projecting human ear is known as a prominent ear, otapostasis, or bat ear. It might be both bilateral and unilateral. The scapha and antihelix of the big concha are not well formed. It is the outcome of cartilage deformity that…

[BACKGROUND] The purpose was to explore the effect of targeted responsibility system nursing combined with psychological intervention on compliance and complications of patients with autologous nasal septum cartilage and ear cartilage trans…

[INTRODUCTION] Cartilage is an important source in supporting the structure of the nose for dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty. However, it is known that its viability is not always on the ideal level. Various wrapping materials are used to in…

[BACKGROUND] Conchal cartilage is generally favored in rhinoplasty with a satisfied aesthetic outcome. However, patients may suffer from postoperative donor auricle deformities. [OBJECTIVES] This study introduced a novel conchal cartilage …

Question mark ear is a rare congenital deformity, mainly characterized the interruption of the natural continuity between the lower border of the helix and the earlobe. In severe cases, the earlobe may be absent. In addition, there may be p…

[BACKGROUND] This case report highlights a rare instance of concurrent keloid and epidermal cyst development at an ear cartilage harvest site following rhinoplasty in a 25-year-old woman. Both conditions, which typically stem from skin trau…

[BACKGROUND] Lacking a nasal tip projection is a common deformity of Asian nasals. Various commonly used nasal tip grafts require dissecting septal perichondrium, most of them are autologous cartilage with a nonintegrated design. A snake-sh…

[BACKGROUND] A lack of ideal filling materials is a critical limitation in current rhinoplasty. Cartilage sheet regeneration by autologous chondrocytes is expected to provide an ideal source of material. However, the inability to perform mi…

[BACKGROUND] The demand for rhinoplasty in Asia is growing annually, and short nose deformity has been one of the main reasons for the surgery due to its high incidence. There is an urgent need for rhinoplasty suitable for Asians because of…

[BACKGROUND] Single-stage microtia auricular reconstruction is becoming more relevant. The determining factor is a temporoparietal fascia flap (TPF) with both branches of the superficial temporal artery (STA). There are not many studies reg…

: Revision rhinoplasty is a technically demanding surgical procedure that can put every surgeon in trouble. The main issue of these cases is often an altered osteocartilaginous framework following over-resection during the first interventio…
