Effects of different scar types on flap viability in a skin flap model: an experimental study.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of tissues with multiple traumas, scarred pedicles, and medial scarring as a flap.

Methods: Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into four equal groups. The modified McFarlane flap was chosen as the flap model.

Creation of Experimental Human Nose Model With Lyophilized and Decellularized Bovine Cartilage Xenograft.

The nose anatomy is a functional and aesthetically important organ because of its three-dimensional structure, visible location in the face region, and its connection with the respiratory tract. Aesthetic and reconstructive nasal surgery requires correction of deformations in cartilage and bone structures as well as preservation of the natural connections between all subunits. The minimal mistake made can result in functional or aesthetically bad results.
