Nasal obstruction is a significant challenge greatly affecting individual quality of life. It is one of the most common presentations in the otolaryngology clinic, often persisting despite medical and, at times, surgical intervention. The butterfly graft has proven to be a veritable option addressing nasal valve collapse. Herein, we describe our most recent operative technique, highlight its application in ethnic rhinoplasty and revision cases, and discuss incorporation of dorsal preservation techniques in functional rhinoplasty.

Butterfly Cartilage Inlay Technique for Repairing Medium-to-Large-Sized Tympanic Membrane Perforations.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Objective: The butterfly cartilage inlay technique was originally developed for repairing small tympanic membrane (TM) perforations but is now increasingly used for repairing large TM perforations. Although studies have evaluated the effectiveness of butterfly tympanoplasty for repairing medium-to-large-sized TM perforations, no study has compared its effectiveness with that of the conventional underlay cartilage technique. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of butterfly tympanoplasty for repairing medium-to-large-sized TM perforations compared with that of the conventional underlay cartilage.

Article Synopsis
- Cartilage perichondrium composite grafts (CPCG) were utilized in tympanoplasty to address issues such as reperforations, with a goal to improve graft techniques and evaluate their success.
- The study involved 54 ear operations on 48 patients, revealing significant improvements in audiological measurements following the procedure, with a graft success rate of 94.4%.
- Modifications to the grafts aimed to reduce the chance of reperforation and improve auditory outcomes, indicating that CPCG is effective even for high-risk ear perforations.

Unlabelled: Since 1952, myringoplasty has evolved with various surgical techniques, including overlay, underlay, sandwich, pegging, rosette, and plugging. Overlay and underlay methods are most commonly used. In 1998, Eavey introduced the cartilage and perichondrium butterfly inlay myringoplasty, designed for small to medium-sized perforation closure, offering practical advantages such as reduced surgical time and improved hearing outcomes.

Objective: The butterfly graft (BFG) secondary contouring procedure addresses external nasal irregularities following the primary BFG surgery. We explore demographic factors associated with the desire for secondary contouring and assess patient-reported outcomes following the procedure.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 374 patients undergoing BFG between April 2020 and April 2023 identified 10 individuals electing for secondary contouring.
