BACKGROUND Although the assignment and suturing of the spreader graft to the septum is a routine part of rhinoplasty, it is a time wasting procedure and some problems may occur. Rather, autospreader flap is a new method that the dorsal part of the upper lateral cartilage is used as its own graft. In the present study, we intended to compare the functional and aesthetic outcomes of these two tec...

OBJECTIVE To measure the efficacy of a specific midvault reconstruction technique (the autospreader flap) in dorsal reductive rhinoplasty with a validated quality-of-life instrument. DESIGN A prospective observational outcomes study of patients desiring reduction of the nasal dorsum who either (1) had no breathing obstruction, who underwent purely aesthetic rhinoplasty, or (2) had concomitant...

A good rhinoplasty dissection is crucial to identify and release the vectoral forces on a deviated septum before correction. Even after completing the dissection, dorsal hump reduction, septoplasty, and osteotomy, there may be persisting septal deviation. A number of techniques have been identified to correct various kinds of deviations that persist after release. Cartilage grafts from the sept...

background and aims. wound dehiscence after lower third molar surgery extends the postoperative treatment period and may cause long-standing pain. the aim of this study was to compare wound dehiscence after removal of wisdom teeth in the most prevalent mandibular impaction (mesioangular class ib) by two different soft tissue flap designs. materials and methods. partially-erupted mandibular thir...

 ABSTRACT Background: The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap remains the gold standard for postmastectomy reconstruction either immediate or delayed. However, transfer of TRAM flap can be associated with donor site morbidities and complications in flap. A successful reconstruction consists of careful patient selection, surgical technique and meticulous preoperative plannin...
