The Saddle Projection Graft.

This paper and the accompanying video present a novel technique developed by the senior author to reliably control nasal tip projection and rotation with a midline cartilage graft that is nonbulky; easily reproducible; and conceptually intuitive. The saddle projection graft is a cartilage graft ∼5 by 15 mm in size fashioned from the nasal septum. A 15 blade is used to create a sagittal groove in the cartilage, which is then inset onto the anterior septal angle with the septum fitting within the sagittal groove.

The Dieffenbach Flap for Reconstruction of Auricular Defects After Mohs Micrographic Surgery.

Auricle reconstruction is a challenging problem in plastic surgery due to the ear's prominent location, complex anatomy, and limited local tissue availability. The Dieffenbach flap, a folded postauricular flap, offers a viable flap for reconstruction of larger ear defects. Although the technique has been well defined in previous literature, there are few studies evaluating its outcomes and complications.

Aesthetic Auricle Reconstruction with the Dieffenbach Flap: A Retrospective Case Review.

The Dieffenbach flap is often used for post-Mohs reconstruction of auricle defects, effectively restoring the auricle rim. However, its impact on auricle projection and length after division and inset is not well-documented. This study evaluates auricle projection and length following defect repair with the Dieffenbach flap, comparing results to the nonoperative ear.

Otoplasty Online Information: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Websites and Videos that Patients View Regarding Cosmetic Ear Surgery.

Physicians should be aware of both websites and videos available online regarding the otoplasty procedure to provide quality care. This study systematically analyzes the authorships, reliability, quality, and readability of the websites, as well as the authorships and primary objectives of the videos regarding otoplasty. Validated instruments were used to analyze the reliability, quality, and readability of websites, and videos were systematically categorized and analyzed.
