Learning Objectives: After reading this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the challenges in restoring volume and structural integrity in rhinoplasty. 2. Identify the appropriate uses of various autografts in aesthetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty (septal cartilage, auricular cartilage, costal cartilage, calvarial and nasal bone, and olecranon process of the ulna). 3. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of each of these autografts.

Summary: This review specifically addresses the use of autologous grafts in rhinoplasty. Autologous materials remain the preferred graft material for use in rhinoplasty because of their high biocompatibility and low risk of infection and extrusion. However, these advantages should be counterbalanced with the concerns of donor-site morbidity, graft availability, and graft resorption.

The Application of a New Framework Construction Technique in Autologous Costal Cartilage Rhinoplasty.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

December 2024

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital (Affiliated People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College), Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.

Background: In this study, the clinical efficacy of a new framework construction technique for costal cartilage rhinoplasty was investigated.

Methods: From January 2020 to February 2022, patients who underwent rhinoplasty in the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled. The sixth costal cartilage was made into the nasal columellar support graft (strut), the nasal tip graft integrated scaffold, and the septal extension grafts.

Article Synopsis
  • Autologous bone grafts, particularly from the proximal tibia, are examined as a viable option for maxillofacial surgeries, offering low donor site morbidity and the advantage of local anaesthesia options.
  • In a study of 21 tibia grafts, 57% were used for alveolar ridge reconstruction and 43% for rhinoplasty, with minor complications reported at donor and recipient sites.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that proximal tibia grafts are effective for these procedures, with a high implant survival rate of 86.7% over median follow-up of 40.5 months.
