Autogenous control augmentation system – A refinement in diced cartilage glue graft for augmentation of dorsum of nose

The diced cartilage glue graft for nasal augmentation. Morphometric evidence of longevity.

BACKGROUND A grafting technique that uses diced cartilage without fascia, which improves formability while maintaining long-term stability, would be a welcome addition to the rhinoplasty armamentarium. METHODS A diced cartilage glue graft was recently introduced as the Tasman technique. The technique has been used by one of us (A.-J.T.) in 28 patients who were monitored clinically for 4 to 26...

Diced Costal Cartilage for Augmentation Rhinoplasty

Diced cartilage grafts wrapped in AlloDerm for dorsal nasal augmentation.

Dorsal nasal augmentation is commonly performed for various aesthetic deficiencies and/or reconstructive defects such as the saddle nose deformity. However, the optimal technique for volume augmentation has yet to be identified. The senior author (F.P.) has since developed a new modified technique using wrapped diced cartilage within an AlloDerm. This novel construct provides the plastic surgeo...

Augmentation rhinoplasty with combined use of Medpor graft and irradiated homograft rib cartilage in saddle nose deformity.

BACKGROUND We used the irradiated homograft rib cartilage as an augmentation tip support and Medpore alloplast for reconstruction of the dorsum in patients with saddle nose deformities. Thereafter, the safety and efficiency of this method was evaluated to determine if this can be a safe and efficient technique for patients with saddle nose deformities. METHODS A total of 32 patients who suffe...

Autogenous tooth bone graft block for sinus augmentation with simultaneous implant installation: a technical note

In cases of severe alveolar bone atrophy in the posterior maxillary area, which has only a thin sinus floor, the autogenous tooth bone graft block (ABTB) was used to wrap the implant to enhance its primary stability and osseointegration in the sinus. These cases with four years of clinical follow-up demonstrate the applicability of the ABTB in maxillary sinus membrane elevation to improve the o...
