Autogenous split calvarial bone grafts effectively reconstruct nasal deformities, offering reliable, long-term results with minimal complications. This method is ideal for saddle-nose deformities, nasal tip ptosis, and nasal valve collapse.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Nasal deformities pose significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Previous methods utilized autogenous and alloplastic materials with varying success.
  • Scarring and altered anatomy complicate nasal reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of autogenous split calvarial bone grafts in nasal reconstruction.
  • To assess the long-term outcomes and complication rates of this reconstructive technique.

Main Methods:

  • Seventeen patients underwent nasal reconstruction using autogenous split calvarial bone grafts.
  • Procedures included dorsal augmentation, columella strut insertion, and nasal batten insertion.
  • Patient follow-up ranged from 1 to 5 years.

Main Results:

  • No significant graft resorption was observed during the follow-up period.
  • Complications were limited to a single donor site seroma before routine drain use.
  • No major complications such as hematoma, CSF leak, or infection occurred.

Conclusions:

  • Autogenous split calvarial bone grafts provide excellent, reliable long-term results for nasal reconstruction.
  • This technique is a safe and effective option for correcting various nasal deformities.
  • The study highlights the durability and low complication profile of calvarial bone grafts in nasal surgery.
