Simultaneous retraction and marking for maximum conchal cartilage harvest.
INTRODUCTION The three-dimensional contour of the face is defined by the osseocartilaginous framework as well as the soft tissue that surrounds these structures. In reconstructive surgery, it is important to analyze the defect and determine which layers are deficient and need replacement. Cartilage is employed extensively in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery for its capacity to be shaped as ...
متن کاملSimple Correction of Alar Retraction by Conchal Cartilage Extension Grafts
BACKGROUND Alar retraction is a challenging condition in rhinoplasty marked by exaggerated nostril exposure and awkwardness. Although various methods for correcting alar retraction have been introduced, none is without drawbacks. Herein, we report a simple procedure that is both effective and safe for correcting alar retraction using only conchal cartilage grafting. METHODS Between August 200...
متن کاملA Working Classification of Retraction for the Whole Tympanic Membrane
Objective: To formulate a reliable classification of tympanic membrane retraction which is easy to use but capable of detecting small differences in retraction. Study Design: Prospective study. Methods: The classification was developed from observations dividing the drum into 3 areas: the pars tensa anterior to the malleus, type I, posterior to the malleus (subdivided into upper and lower) type...
متن کاملA New Technique for Conchal Cartilage Harvest
The goal of auricular cartilage harvest is to obtain a sufficient amount for reconstruction and to minimize the change in ear shape. The cartilage can be harvested by a posterior or anterior approach, and each method has advantages and disadvantages. The posterior approach presents the advantage of scar concealment, but there are limits to the amount of cymba cartilage that may be harvested. In...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Infectious Scleritis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa with Autologous Perichondrium Graft of Conchal Cartilage
Infectious scleritis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a well-known vision-threatening disease. In particular, scleral trauma following pterygium surgery may increase the risk of sclera inflammation. Surgical debridement and repair is necessary in patients who do not respond to medical treatments, such as topical and intravenous antibiotics. We reports herein the effectiveness of an autologous peric...
