비중격연골 Septal Cartilage

[BACKGROUND] Cleft rhinoplasty is a challenging form of nasal correction of both esthetic and functional deformities. The septal cartilage in many Asian patients are not sufficient and weak. Does a combination of the septal cartilage and th…

[BACKGROUND] Dorsal contour irregularities remain a potential undesirable sequela of rhinoplasty. Use of dorsal onlay grafts can camouflage such irregularities. In this article, a novel technique for dorsal onlay grafting utilizing crushed …

[BACKGROUND] The relation between the osteocartilaginous nasal vault and nasal hump characteristics has not been fully investigated. [METHODS] Measurements were collected from computed tomographic nasal scans in the midsagittal plane in ad…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate evolving practice patterns in secondary cleft rhinoplasty. [DESIGN] Retrospective review of data submitted during Maintenance of Certification (MOC). [SETTING] Evaluation of MOC data from the American Board of Plas…

[BACKGROUND] Several rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction procedures require cartilage. Various studies have reported on the nasal septal cartilage as a donor site for Caucasian and Asian populations. However, studies regarding the Thai nas…

[BACKGROUND] Septal extension grafting (SEG) is used for nasal tip projection and positioning. Often, insufficient quadrangular cartilage is available for grafting in Asians, and in most secondary cases the septum is already harvested. We u…

[BACKGROUND] Congenital or secondary deficiency in septal cartilage leads to an unpleasant cosmetic appearance and compromised function as well. Rhinoplasty maneuvers such as spreader graft and septal extension graft with autologous tissue …

Congenital anomalies of the nose are rare but may be associated with syndromes affecting craniofacial structures. Herein, we report a case of a congenital absence of lower lateral cartilage seen during an open rhinoplasty in a 23-yr-old lad…

To explore the feasibility of reconstruction of nasal tip with septal cartilage and auricular cartilage. From September 2018 to October 2019, 17 patients (two males and fifteen females) with low noses underwent rhinoplasty under general an…

[BACKGROUND] Nasal soft triangle is one of the areas usually left unattended in most rhinoplasties, whereas its unique anatomy puts it at great risk of deformities. Its appearance is critical to the natural contour of the nasal tip lobule. …

[OBJECTIVES] In extracorporeal septoplasty (ECS), the entire septal cartilage is harvested, and a neo-L strut is built extracorporeally. Thus, ECS can simultaneously achieve septum straightening and tip projection. This study evaluated the …

[BACKGROUND] During rhinoplasty, it is typically necessary to use cartilage to shape and support the final nasal construct to provide both form and function to the nose (Tanna et al. in Plast Reconstr Surg 141(1):137e-151e, 2018; Guyuron in…

Rhinoplasty is considered one of the most technically difficult surgical procedures because of the limited access and requirement for three-dimensional visual perception and manipulation. Grafting is an essential part of primary and seconda…

[OBJECTIVE]  Reconstruction of a weakened septal cartilage is a key procedure for the correction of deformed noses. However, when septal mucoperichondrium dissection is technically challenging, reconstruction of the lower two-thirds of the …

[BACKGROUND] Nasal septal cartilage is used to obtain favorable aesthetic and functional outcomes in rhinoplasty, but is often difficult to harvest or the harvested amount is insufficient. Therefore, the objective of this study is to introd…

To investigate the clinical application value of orthopedic surgery for traumatic crooked nose after autologous nasal septum deflected cartilage shaping. Twelve patients with obsolete traumatic nasal septum deviation and nasal septum deviat…

Having a noninvasive tool that quantifies the amount of remaining septal cartilage in the setting of prior septoplasty would be useful for surgical planning and patient counseling. The objective of this pilot study is to determine if endoc…

Reconstruction of nasal defect is difficult and challenging. A full-thickness defect of nose requires reconstruction of thin inner lining, middle skeletal (bony/cartilaginous) support, and outer skin layer cover. Large full-thickness defect…

[PURPOSE] It is important to reinforce nasal tip support for long-term satisfactory results. Two workhorses of tip support are strut grafting and the tongue-in-groove technique. Tongue-in-groove causes retraction and stiffness; the strut ca…

[OBJECTIVE] Saddle nose deformity is a well-described condition that most commonly results from trauma or prior surgery. For larger saddle nose deformity defects, bone grafts are a reconstructive option that provide adequate structure for r…
