Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinoplasty Techniques

Background:

  • The extended columellar strut-tip graft is a composite structural unit utilized in endonasal rhinoplasty.
  • This graft aims to enhance nasal tip projection and contour, combining functions of a columellar strut and tip graft.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the 15-year clinical experience with the extended columellar strut-tip graft in rhinoplasty.
  • To assess the efficacy and complication rates associated with this grafting technique.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 155 patients undergoing rhinoplasty with the extended columellar strut-tip graft.
  • Analysis included primary (45 patients) and secondary (110 patients) rhinoplasty cases.
  • Complication rates and outcomes of revision surgeries were documented.

Main Results:

  • A total of 6 patients (4.5%) in the secondary rhinoplasty group experienced complications.
  • Complications included graft visibility (3 patients) and graft placement asymmetry (3 patients).
  • All complications occurred in patients operated during the early phase of graft development and were successfully managed with revision.

Conclusions:

  • The extended columellar strut-tip graft is a dependable method for achieving nasal tip projection and contour.
  • Successful outcomes depend on accurate preoperative assessment and meticulous surgical execution.
  • The technique demonstrates a low complication rate, particularly with experience gained over time.
