Semilunar conchal cartilage graft in saddle nose reconstruction

The conchal cartilage graft in nasal reconstruction.

Graft selection remains a problem in nasal reconstruction, where the use of autologous cartilage still provides the best resistance to infection and a low degree of resorption. As the nasal septum is often absent or insufficient in such patients, the auricular concha offers a valid alternative. A group of 53 patients suffering from developmental iatrogenic and post-traumatic nasal pathologies w...

saddle nose reconstruction with bone graft in multiple facial fracture patients

conclusions saddle nose reconstruction with bone graft in multiple facial fracture patients is a predictable method if surgical accesses to the region are carefully designed, considering the accompanying fractures. results there were 11 patients treated using this method. the male-to-female ratio was 7:5. one miniscrew with the lag technique was the preferred method for the fixation of the dors...

Tracheal reconstruction using S-shaped skin flaps and a conchal cartilage graft.

We have devised a technique of two-stage tracheal reconstruction using S-shaped skin flaps and an aural conchal cartilage graft. During the first operation, S-shaped skin flaps were elevated before resection of the trachea. A tracheocutaneous fistula was created at the tracheal defect using S-shaped skin flaps while placing the conchal cartilage graft underneath. During the second operation, a ...
