늑연골 Costal Cartilage

[BACKGROUND] Visible lateral margin (VLM) after rhinoplasty is considered one of the potential complications. [PURPOSE] The purpose is to assess the suitability of implementing a lateral margin graft (LMG) to mitigate the occurrence of a V…

Cleft lip rhinoplasty (CLR) corrects nasal deformities in cleft lip and palate patients. However, limitations exist in some countries like Japan regarding the use of silicone implants for CLR. While historical reports mention their use sinc…

[BACKGROUND] Revision rhinoplasty presents unique challenges, particularly in achieving structural integrity and aesthetic harmony. This study explores the efficacy of costal grafts in addressing these challenges, focusing on anatomical cor…

: 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…

Handheld ultrasound devices can be used in revision rhinoplasty to evaluate the calcification of costal rib cartilage that is to be harvested for grafting. This article provides instructions on how to perform this technique. Laryngoscope, 1…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive rhinoplasty with autogenous costal cartilage grafting and prosthesis augmentation rhinoplasty in the treatment of secondary nasal deformity with saddle nasal deformity after clef…

[OBJECTIVE] The center of the face plays an important role in the fullness of our facial contours, however, sunken center of the face is more common in Asians than in Europeans and Americans. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and rib …

[AIM] Due to the diversity and complexity of tissues involved in secondary nasal deformities following unilateral cleft lip, secondary nasal deformity correction surgeries are challenging and often yield unsatisfactory results, posing a dif…

[BACKGROUND] Adjusting the nasal tip rotation and tip projection according to the patient's face and wishes is a very important stage in rhinoplasty with the use of a cog graft positioning the tip point in the appropriate place is possible …

Nasal skin necrosis represents a severe rhinoplasty complication, potentially leading to nasal deformity and psychological distress. To assess the safety, nasal function enhancement, and esthetic satisfaction in individuals with a history …

Autologous costal cartilage (ACC) and irradiated homologous costal cartilage (IHCC) are commonly used in septorhinoplasty when there is insufficient septal cartilage for grafting. To assess the surgical outcomes of patients who underwent s…

In this commentary, I discuss Drake et al.'s manuscript, "Outcomes of Autologous versus Irradiated Homologous Costal Cartilage Grafts in Rhinoplasty" and its greater implications for cartilage selection for grafting in septorhinoplasty. The…

Complications associated with the use of autologous and homologous costal cartilage for nasal tip stabilizing grafts in septorhinoplasty are not well understood. The authors review current literature to evaluate complications associated wi…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of our study is to reduce the complications of pain and chest wall deformity by modifying conventional costal cartilage graft harvesting. [METHOD] In this method while the superior part of the costal cartilage is remove…

[BACKGROUND] Dorsal augmentation with costal cartilage is generally used for aesthetic rhinoplasty. However, the tendency of costal cartilage to warp may jeopardize the aesthetic outcome. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to describe …

[BACKGROUND] This study describes the author's experience with long-term follow-up analysis of secondary procedures in patients with unsatisfactory initial microtia reconstruction. [METHODS] A total of 134 patients who underwent secondary …

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Rhinoplasty in patients with cleft lip nose (CLN) deformity is challenging. Cleft lip nose deformity primarily affects the nasal tip, columella, nostrils, alar base, floor, and septum. The needs of patients with …

[BACKGROUND] Complicated silicone nose is a common clinical problem. Selection of replacement material for revision dorsal augmentation is a challenging task. [OBJECTIVES] The authors presented their experience in the use of molded glued d…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty with autologous costal cartilage (ACC) is followed by severe pain in the chest. Ultrasound-guided (USG) serratus anterior plane block (SAPB), in combination with parasternal block (PSB), was earlier reported to be h…

Some practitioners prefer the ninth costal cartilage for autogenous rhinoplasty, but few anatomical studies focus on tapering shape and harvesting safety regarding pneumothorax risk. Therefore, the authors studied the size and related anato…
