Columellar strut grafts versus septal extension grafts during rhinoplasty for airway function, patient satisfaction and tip support.

Importance: Different techniques exist to provide tip support in rhinoplasty. There is little evidence to provide a consensus on the most effective choice.

Objective: Evaluating columellar strut graft (CSG) and septal extension grafts (SEG) for their influence on airway function, patient satisfaction and tip support.

"A banana a day keeps wound failure away": comparing the utility of fruit, pig, and synthetic skins for suturing practice.

Objectives: To investigate how suturing orange and banana peels, pig skin, and synthetic skin compares with the experience of suturing human skin.

Design: Interventional study of simple interrupted, vertical mattress, and subcuticular suturing on the four test materials.

Participants, Setting: Fifteen consultants and six trainees in surgical and emergency medicine specialties at a New South Wales regional teaching hospital.

Sectional Anatomy Quiz - IV.

In this series we present a quiz about identification of salient and important anatomical landmarks present at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) image. The representative image is followed by further images showing examples of various commonly encountered pathologies that can be seen at this level in clinical practice. Readers are expected to identify highlighted structures in all the images and appreciate how a given abnormality can alter the appearance of normal structures.
