Maxillonasal dysplasia (Binder's syndrome) and its treatment with costal cartilage graft: A follow-up study

Maxillonasal dysplasia or Binder's syndrome is an uncommon congenital condition characterized by a retruded mid-face with an extremely flat nose. We report here six patients with maxillonasal dysplasia whose noses were corrected with onlay costal cartilage grafts using a combined oral vestibular and external rhinoplasty approach for nasal dorsal augmentation, columellar lengthening, and premaxi...

Maxillonasal dysplasia (Binder's syndrome)

Nipple reconstruction using the modified top hat flap with banked costal cartilage graft: long-term follow-up in 58 patients.

The long-term projection of nipple reconstruction is a challenge. Fifty-eight consecutive female patients underwent 58 nipple reconstructions with modified top hat flap with cartilage graft following breast reconstruction in 54 autologous tissues and 4 implants, respectively. The average neonipple size was 11.5 mm initially and 8.5 mm at a mean follow-up of 44.9 months (range, 24-65 months), wi...

Harvesting split thickness costal cartilage graft

AIM There are few complications associated with harvesting of full thickness coastal cartilage grafts i.e., pneumothorax (0.9%), contour deformities and prolonged post-operative pain. To address these issues, authors devised special scalpel to harvest split-thickness costal cartilage grafts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Standard inframammary incision was used for harvesting rib. Incision was made di...

Long-term follow-up of tracheoplasty using autologous pericardial patch and strips of costal cartilage.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate long-term results of tracheoplasty using autologous pericardial patch and strips of costal cartilage for relieving severe long-segment tracheal stenosis. METHODS Data were collected retrospectively by clinical chart review. Between 1995 and 2013, 21 patients underwent tracheoplasty. Follow-up was performed by outpatient chart review; otherwise, referring physicians and ...
