늑연골 Costal Cartilage

Secondary cleft lip nasal deformity presents a persistent challenge in reconstructive surgery, with fundamental differences existing between unilateral and bilateral presentations that dictate distinct management approaches. This systematic…

[AIM AND BACKGROUND] Asian rhinoplasty presents unique challenges due to distinct anatomical features, including a low nasal dorsum, weak cartilaginous framework, and thick soft tissue envelope. This article examines contemporary surgical a…

[BACKGROUND] Iatrogenic pneumothorax associated with surgeries at anatomically thoracic-adjacent and non-adjacent sites is characterized by an insidious onset, delayed presentation, and high rates of misdiagnosis, posing significant risks t…

[BACKGROUND] Caudal septal deviation poses a significant challenge in rhinoplasty, affecting both nasal airflow and aesthetic balance. While various techniques such as scoring, swinging door, and batten grafting have been used, many fail to…

[BACKGROUND] Lengthening a short nose using costal cartilage is common in primary and revision rhinoplasty but has drawbacks, including complexity, two surgical sites, and high complication rates. We present an alternative technique using o…

Definitive cleft rhinoplasty is performed at or near skeletal maturity to improve nasal breathing, symmetry, and shape, with surgeons performing a variety of techniques depending on patient goals. This study explores the relationship betwee…

[BACKGROUND] Dorsal nasal augmentation can be performed using autologous diced costal cartilage wrapped in various materials. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of two different wrapping materials-rectus abdominis fascia and Alloderm…

[BACKGROUND] Exosomes have emerged as a promising therapeutic agent for various dermatological conditions such as acne, atopic dermatitis, and wound healing. This study aims to evaluate exosome's efficacy in improving postoperative scars. …

[BACKGROUND] Columellar defects, resulting from trauma or surgery, pose both functional and aesthetic challenges. This study evaluates the functional and aesthetic outcomes of columellar reconstruction using the philtral flap method in a ca…

[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…

Porous polyethylene implants are widely used in rhinoplasty but are associated with complications, including infection, extrusion, and framework destruction. Managing such complications is challenging, often requiring staged reconstruction.…

[INTRODUCTION] Thick skin-soft tissue envelope (SSTE) and weak cartilage make nasal tip definition challenging in many Asian rhinoplasty patients. [OBJECTIVES & HYPOTHESES] We aimed to assess whether the Princess and the Pea (PP) graft-a s…

[BACKGROUND] Modern techniques in structure rhinoplasty require cartilage for grafting. The optimal source of this cartilage is debated. Fresh frozen homologous costal cartilage (FFHCC) grafts are a promising source of cartilage; further in…

[BACKGROUND] Autogenous rib cartilage is a common material for rhinoplasty, especially for nose extension and revision. At present, open surgery is the most mature method for rib extraction. However, it has many disadvantages, such as long …

[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…

ImportanceIdiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) associated with congenital hemi-arrhinia is rare but can substantially impact patients' quality of life. The underlying genetic etiology remains to be clarified, and surgical approach…

This case report describes an unexpected intraoperative discovery during secondary revision surgery for residual unilateral cleft lip deformity in an 18-year-old female. Despite a consistent patient history of a prior "autologous costal car…

[BACKGROUND] Diced costal cartilage wrapped in autogenous fascia is favored by rhinoplasty surgeons because of its high stability and low resorption rate. However, the volume of fascial bags is difficult to adjust, and diced costal cartilag…

Asian augmentation rhinoplasty has seen marked transitions in both its technical and aesthetic aspects over time, to address the distinct anatomical needs of Asian patients while aligning with their individual standards of beauty. This stud…
