Diced Ear Cartilage With Perichondrial Attachment in Rhinoplasty: A New Concept

Diced Costal Cartilage for Augmentation Rhinoplasty

Diced cartilage grafts in rhinoplasty surgery: current techniques and applications.

BACKGROUND The author has used diced cartilage grafts in nasal surgery for more than 30 years. However, the number of cases and the variety of techniques have increased dramatically over the past 6 years. METHODS The author uses three methods of diced cartilage in rhinoplasty surgery: diced cartilage, diced cartilage wrapped in fascia (with fascia then sewn closed), and diced cartilage covere...

Diced Cartilage Graft for Revision Rhinoplasty in a 64-year-old Cleft Patient: A Case Report

Pure diced cartilage graft has been the technique of choice for revision rhinoplasty in cleft patients since 2003 at our center. This technique has several advantages over the traditional en bloc cartilage onlay graft including minimal risk of warping, its technical simplicity, and the ability to adjust the shape of the graft with manual massage for up to 3 weeks postoperatively. Calcification ...

Histology and Long-term Stability of Diced Cartilage Graft for Revision Rhinoplasty in a Cleft Patient

Diced cartilage graft wrapped in Surgicel or fascia has been widely reported in the literature. Pure diced cartilage graft without the use of a "sleeve," on the contrary, is not as commonly reported. This could be due to concerns of graft dispersion, palpability, or visibility. In this case report, histologic findings of a pure diced cartilage graft placed 4½ years ago are reported. In addition...

Autologous Diced Cartilage in Nasal Septoplasty

Diced rib cartilage is an acceptable option in severe nasal deformities. We present our preliminary experience in KAMC in nasal septoplasties using the autologous diced costal cartilage. This is a retrospective study of the 22 cases who needed the autologous diced costal cartilage in our centre in 4 years. All our patients needed autologous diced rib cartilages. Twelve were wrapped with tempora...
