[The use of calvarial bone in nasal reconstruction]

Twenty-seven nasal reconstructions with parietal bone graft performed between January 1989 and January 1995 were analyzed retrospectively. No complications involving parietal bone were observed. After a 2-year follow-up there have been no cases of shifting, extrusion or resorption of the rhinoplasty. Our experience shows that calvarial bone is an ideal material for nasal reconstruction bone grafts.
