This retrospective study describes the reconstruction of 18 nasal defects with chondrocutaneous (composite) grafts. Composite grafts are versatile one-stage options for defects ≤2.5 cm at the lower third of the nose and are particularly useful in reconstruction of small full-thickness defects and superficial defects bordering or involving the alar rim.

Chondrocutaneous Custom-made Graft for Upper Lateral and Alar Cartilage Nose Reconstruction: The T Graft.

Arch Plast Surg

January 2025

Department of Experimental and Clinical Medicine, Clinic of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Marche Polytechnic University Medical School, Ancona, Italy.

Upper lateral cartilage and alar cartilage nose reconstruction secondary to failed aesthetic procedure or tumor excision, surely represents a reconstructive challenge for plastic surgeons, because of the support needed and for the function of the internal nasal valve (INV). Several scientific publications deal with internal nasal reconstructive techniques, including simple homologous or heterologous tissue grafts. We describe a new hybrid chondrocutaneous graft used for reconstruction of the upper lateral cartilage and a portion of the alar cartilage (cephalic part), excised with the adherent nasal mucosa (in correspondence with INV), included in the tumor mass.

Donor hepatitis C status is not associated with an increased risk of acute rejection in kidney transplantation.

Surg Pract Sci

March 2024

Department of Surgery, Division of Multiorgan Transplant and Hepatobiliary Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch, 301 University Boulevard, Galveston, TX, 77555-0655, USA.

Introduction: In renal transplantation, donor hepatitis C virus (HCV) status is crucial to consider when selecting a recipient given the high likelihood of transmission. We analyzed the effect of donor HCV status on post-renal transplant rejection and virologic infectious outcomes using electronic health record data from multiple US health care organizations.

Methods: Using real world data from electronic health records of renal transplant recipients, a propensity score-matched case-control study of one-year renal transplant outcomes was conducted on cohorts of HCV-negative recipients who received an organ from an HCV-positive donor (HCV D+/R-) versus from an HCV-negative donor (HCV D-/R-).
