Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Costal cartilage is a valuable graft for rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction.
  • Traditional harvesting methods carry risks of donor site complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a simple, safe, and effective technique for harvesting full-length costal cartilage.
  • To evaluate the application of this technique in total nasal reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 24 patients (16 female, 8 male) underwent total nasal reconstruction using costal cartilage grafts.
  • A new cold light source-assisted harvesting technique was employed.
  • Outcomes were assessed during hospitalization and at 6-30 month follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Operative time for cartilage harvest ranged from 30-60 minutes.
  • Patients experienced minimal pain and could ambulate one day post-surgery.
  • No donor site complications (e.g., pneumothorax) were observed, with excellent healing at both donor and recipient sites.

Conclusions:

  • The cold light source-assisted costal cartilage harvest technique is safe and effective for total nasal reconstruction.
  • This method offers minimal donor site morbidity, rapid recovery, and high patient/surgeon satisfaction.
