Various applications of chondrocutaneous composite grafts in secondary cleft lip nose patients

Composite chondrocutaneous grafts were applied to 12 patients in various forms to repair the columellar deficit, to form the nasal tubercle and nostril sill in cleft lip nose patients. Cleft lip-nose deformity patients with alar cartilage hypoplasia, obtuse angulation of the medial and lateral crura and the resulting plica vestibularis, internal nasal valve problems associated with the weakness of upper lateral cartilages are included in this study and composite conchal cartilage grafts are utilized to achieve a symmetrical and functional result.
