Radiologic and histological evaluation of otogenic sliced cartilage grafts at the tip of the chin of rabbits: an experimental study.

Objectives: Cartilage grafts have been commonly used in plastic and reconstructive surgery applications for many different goals, such as auricular reconstruction and rhinoplasty. The use of autologous cartilage is ideal for many reasons. An attempt was made to produce an experimental animal model to test the efficacy of otogenic Surgicel-wrapped sliced cartilage.

Use of honey as an adjunct in the healing of split-thickness skin graft donor site.

Background: Different techniques are being used in treatment of split-thickness skin graft donor sites; however, there is not a widely accepted method established for these partial-thickness wounds.
