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...

Diced cartilage grafts wrapped in AlloDerm for dorsal nasal augmentation.

Dorsal nasal augmentation is commonly performed for various aesthetic deficiencies and/or reconstructive defects such as the saddle nose deformity. However, the optimal technique for volume augmentation has yet to be identified. The senior author (F.P.) has since developed a new modified technique using wrapped diced cartilage within an AlloDerm. This novel construct provides the plastic surgeo...

Diced Costal Cartilage for Augmentation Rhinoplasty

The diced cartilage glue graft for nasal augmentation. Morphometric evidence of longevity.

BACKGROUND A grafting technique that uses diced cartilage without fascia, which improves formability while maintaining long-term stability, would be a welcome addition to the rhinoplasty armamentarium. METHODS A diced cartilage glue graft was recently introduced as the Tasman technique. The technique has been used by one of us (A.-J.T.) in 28 patients who were monitored clinically for 4 to 26...

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...
