Augmentation Rhinoplasty Using an L-Shaped Auricular Cartilage Framework Combined with Dermal Fat Graft for Cleft Lip Nose

Abstract: We prepared an L-shaped framework using autogenous auricular cartilage and combined this with dermal fat, according to each patient, to graft it in 12 patients with cleft lip nose. Although auricular cartilage is weak on its own, by our method we obtained a strong columella strut and nasal dorsum augmentation at the same time. Dermal fat graft provided camouflage for cartilage irregularities and was useful for increasing the graft volume. Although absorption caused a decreased volume to a certain extent, there… Show more

“…(7) reemplazaron el poste columelar con una extensión septal de cartílago auricular, mientras que Nakakita et ál. (8) aumentaron el dorso y manejaron la punta con una estructura en L, conformada por cartílago auricular en múltiples capas. Falces describió el uso de un injerto en alas de gaviota, derivado de la concha para generar soporte adicional.…”

“…These tissues may be used alone or in combination. 4 Although plenty of tissue is available at sites such as the iliac bone and the costal cartilage, 5 grafting from such sites poses a significant burden on the patient, causing problems such as pain after grafting. Moreover, these areas feel unnaturally hard when pressed from the skin surface, and unforeseen problems of deformation and absorption can occur after grafting these types of tissues.…”

“…The conchal graft involved consists of two layers of cartilage straightened by means of mattress sutures, incisions, and bending. The Lshaped graft of conchal cartilage described by Nakakita et al 13 for the treatment of cleft lip and palate consists of two superimposed strips for the nasal dorsum and one strip to serve as a columellar strut. Neu 14 proposes a combined graft of auricular cartilage and ethmoidal bone to ensure greater straightness and robustness.…”
