Background: The efficacy and safety of equine cartilage as a competent xenograft material for rhinoplasty were evaluated and compared to the outcomes of rhinoplasty using silicone implants.
Methods: We performed a multicenter, double-blind, non-inferiority, and randomized confirmatory study. Fifty-six patients were randomized 1:1 to the study group (using MegaCartilage-E) and control group (using silicone implants).
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the effectiveness of scar prevention and early intervention programs for patients with facial lacerations, focusing on both a standard scar prevention program and a multimodality scar management program.
- - A total of 46 patients participated, with outcomes assessed through various scar assessment scales at 3 and 6 months post-treatment.
- - Results showed that the multimodality treatment led to significantly better scar outcomes compared to the standard program, indicating a more effective approach to scar management.
Background: Patients with secondary deformities associated with unilateral cleft lip and nose might also suffer from nostril stenosis due to a lack of tissue volume in the nostril on the cleft side. Here, we used full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) to reduce nostril stenosis and various methods for skin volume augmentation. We compared the changes in the symmetry of both nostrils before and after surgery.

Background: The free flap surgical method is useful for the reconstruction of head and neck defects. This study retrospectively analyzed the results of head and neck reconstructions using various types of free flaps over the past 30 years.
Methods: Between 1989 and 2018, a total of 866 free flap procedures were performed on 859 patients with head and neck defects, including 7 double free flaps.
