متن کاملFabrication of Stable Cartilage Framework for Microtia in Incomplete Synchondrosis
The synchondrosis between the sixth and seventh costal cartilage is usually used for the base frame in autogenous ear reconstruction. If the synchondrosis is loose, a variety of modifications can be devised. This report introduces new methods for these problems. In cases of incomplete synchondrosis, only the surface of the base block margin was smoothly tapered without carving for the removal o...
متن کاملA novel technique for sculpting costal cartilage in microtia repair and rhinoplasty.
IMPORTANCE Transforming a block of costal cartilage into a complex 3-dimensional framework that reflects the contours of a normal ear or nasal bridge requires the creation of many subtle curves, concavities, and convexities. Thus, specialized instruments for microtia repair and rhinoplasty, with specifically curved sharp blades, are used for delicate carving without the need for excessive force...
متن کاملComplication Rate of Autologous Cartilage Microtia Reconstruction: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND Autologous cartilage has been widely accepted as the frame material of ear reconstruction for patients with microtia.
