Diced ear cartilage with perichondrial attachment in rhinoplasty: a new concept.

Perichondrially attached diced conchal cartilage may be a new possibility to solve some of these problems.

A comparison of survival and secondary contraction in expanded versus conventional full-thickness skin grafts: an experimental study in rats.

Aim: The aim of this experimental study is based on a comparison between the effect of expanded versus nonexpanded full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) on survival and secondary wound contraction.

Methods: A total of 20 quadrangular-shaped, full-thickness skin defects with dimensions of 2 × 3 cm were created on the backs of 10 rats. Two groups were specified in this study depending on the coverage of the aforementioned defect areas using expanded versus conventional full-thickness grafts (n = 10 per group).
