New Technique in Nasal Tip Plasty: Sandwich Technique Using Cartilage and Septal Bone Complex.

Objectives: It is extremely difficult to obtain ideal tip projection and nose lengthening by septal extension graft using only septal cartilage in Asians, because their nasal septal and alar cartilages are small and weak. Therefore, we introduce a new septal extension graft using a cartilage-bone complex with the vomer and the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone as well as cartilage to obtain optimal outcomes.

Methods: Participants included 30 patients who underwent surgery by external approach.

Feasibility of transoral robotic nasopharyngectomy for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma: how we do it.

Retreatment of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after radiotherapy or concomitant chemoradiation is challenging. Surgical resection can be a good method for resectable lesions and avoids the complication of re-irradiation. Recently, transoral robotic nasopharyngectomy has been developed as a minimally invasive procedure for localized recurrent NPC.
