A Novel Autologous Scaffold for Diced-cartilage Grafts in Dorsal Augmentation Rhinoplasty

摘要

Background Diced-cartilage grafts have been used for dorsal nasal augmentation for several years with good results. However, compounds such as Surgicel and temporalis fascia used as a wrap have inherent problems associated with them, predominantly inflammation and graft resorption. An autologous carrier could provide stabilization of cartilage grafts while avoiding the complications seen with earlier techniques.
