PURPOSE To evaluate long-term results in the bilateral cleft lip repair by Mulliken's method, using anthropometric measurements, we assessed the growth of the nose and upper lip after the operation by comparing with those from 30 children without bilateral cleft lip. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-four patients had their bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity repaired simultaneously by Mulliken...

OBJECTIVES To assess the subjective aesthetic and functional concerns of patients seeking revision rhinoplasty and to compare them with objective deformities found on evaluation by the surgeon. METHODS This prospective study used a questionnaire to systematically target the aesthetic and functional concerns of 104 consecutive patients seeking revision rhinoplasty. Analysis of the subjective d...

Resection of cancer often involves the excision of underlying hard tissue, and some procedures in aesthetic rhinoplasty can be used in reconstructive nasal surgery to increase the margin of safety while still achieving an acceptable aesthetic and functional outcome. We have used techniques from aesthetic rhinoplasty to shape the nasal framework. Osteotomy and formation of the tip were used in 1...

Malignant lymphomas represent one of the most important problems of modern medicine, with a constant increase in the last decades, becoming the most frequent tumor among young people. Sinonasal localization is a particular site of malignant lymphomas, representing the second most frequent among ear, nose and throat (ENT) tumors. In this paper, authors present the clinical, diagnostic and therap...

BACKGROUND Among the various methods for correcting nasal deformity, the composite graft is suitable for the inner and outer reconstruction of the nose in a single stage. In this article, we present our technique for reconstructing the ala and columella using the auricular chondrocutaneous composite graft. METHODS From 2004 to 2011, 15 cases of alar and 2 cases of columellar reconstruction em...

Graft selection remains the greatest challenge for surgeons performing rhinoplasty. The preferred choice thus far for nasal reconstruction would be autograft compared to allograft due to its lower rate of infection and extrusion as it does not induce an immune response. We have evaluated 26 patients who underwent open structured rhinoplasty at our center and compared our experience regarding th...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Dorsal augmentation of the nose is needed after trauma, rhinoplasty or for ethnic reasons. Alloplastic or autogenous materials may be used. In this paper, postauricular mastoid fascia was used for dorsal nasal augmentation. METHODS This study included ten patients who underwent dorsal nasal augmentation. Fascia over mastoid area was taken in all cases and was fixed with Ste...

Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is characterized by progressive degeneration and atrophy of the cutaneous, subcutaneous connective tissues, muscles and bones. Classically, PRS is restricted to unilateral face but in 20% of patients may extend to other parts of the body including ipsilateral or contralateral arms, trunk and legs. We report a case of 24-year-old male who presented with insidious ons...

Adenolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm composed of both mature adipose tissue and glandular elements. In this article we report a case of 19-year-old woman, who had nasal blockage and deformity. On examination, a round, soft, nonpulsatile submucosal mass in the cartilagenous vault of the right nasal cavity was found. There was also alar rim notching, nostril asymmetry on the right side and septa...
