Electromechanical reshaping of costal cartilage grafts: a new surgical treatment modality.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Needle electrode-based electromechanical reshaping (EMR) is a novel, ultra-low-cost nascent surgical technology to reshape cartilage with low morbidity. EMR uses direct current to induce mechanical relaxation in cartilage that is first deformed into a required geometry, which in turn leads to permanent shape change. The objective of this study was to determine the effect o...
متن کاملElectromechanical reshaping of septal cartilage.
OBJECTIVES This study describes the process of tissue electroforming and how shape changes in cartilage can be produced by the application of direct current (DC). The dependence of shape change on voltage and application time is explored. STUDY DESIGN Basic investigation using ex vivo porcine septal cartilage grafts and electromechanical cartilage deformation focused on development of a new s...
متن کاملMethods for evaluating changes in cartilage stiffness following electromechanical reshaping
One component of several otolaryngological surgeries is the reshaping of cartilage. Several previous studies have demonstrated the efficient achievement of this procedure through electromechanical reshaping (EMR), a technique that involves the direct application of voltage to cartilage mechanically deformed in a jig. Two main parameters, voltage and application time, may be varied to achieve va...
متن کاملThe rabbit costal cartilage reconstructive surgical model.
Rib grafts in facial plastic surgery are becoming more frequently used. Small animal models, although not ideal may be used to emulate costal cartilage-based procedures. A surgical characterization of this tissue will assist future research in the selection of appropriate costal segments, based on quantitative and qualitative properties. The objective of this study is to assess the surgical ana...
متن کاملPediatric primary anterior laryngotracheoplasty: Thyroid ala vs costal cartilage grafts.
OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes with the use of thyroid ala cartilage (TAC) and costal cartilage (CC) grafts in pediatric primary anterior laryngotracheoplasty (LTP). DESIGN Retrospective comparison study. SETTING Tertiary, academic children's hospital. PATIENTS Of 45 laryngotracheal operations performed between June 2001 and October 2008 for laryngotracheal stenosis, 29 were primary anteri...
