Summary
This study reviews 42 augmentation septorhinoplasty cases, finding autologous cartilage is preferred. Septal cartilage is the primary choice, with conchal cartilage as a secondary option for nasal reconstruction.
Area of Science:
- Plastic surgery
- Otolaryngology
Context:
- Augmentation rhinoplasty aims to increase nasal pyramid dimensions.
- Graft material selection is crucial and often debated in rhinoplasty.
Purpose:
- To report experience with augmentation septorhinoplasty.
- To analyze graft types and associated complications.
Summary:
- A retrospective review of 42 augmentation septorhinoplasty patients over 12 years.
- Quadrangular autologous cartilage was used in 66% of cases; Gore-Tex synthetic material in 28.5%.
Impact:
- Highlights autologous septal cartilage as the preferred graft for nasal dorsum reconstruction.
- Discusses the role of alternative grafts like conchal cartilage and synthetic materials when septal cartilage is unavailable.
