The viability of diced cartilage grafts wrapped in autogenous fascia and AlloDerm® in a rabbit model

A Comparison of Diced Cartilage Grafts Wrapped in Perichondrium Versus Fascia

“…Furthermore, in a study using diced cartilage grafts wrapped in Alloderm, it was reported that survival rates were high and the application was simple but the use of Alloderm was costly to the patient [6].…”

“…Following the use of Surgicel Ò -wrapped diced cartilage grafts and nasal dorsal augmentation, fascia-wrapped and block-form grafts were introduced and successful results have been obtained [3,4]. Later studies reported that damage to the cartilage or the use of Surgicel Ò or other alloplastic materials can increase the rates of resorption [5][6][7]17], and thus alternatives were needed.…”

Effect of scopoletin on fascia-wrapped diced cartilage grafts

“…Surgically wrapped diced cartilages exhibit various degrees of resorption; thus, it has been recommended that fascia be used to wrap diced cartilages. However, few surgeons suggest the use of AlloDerm for wrapping because the harvesting of fascia may cause hematoma and alopecia [17]. Additionally, block grafts have a higher viability than diced cartilage grafts and several medical agents, such as steroids and dimethyl sulfoxide, can be used to increase the resorption rate and viability of cartilage grafts [18].…”

Comparison of Autogenous Cartilage, Acellular Dermis, and Solvent-Dehydrated Pericardium for the Prevention and Correction of Dorsal Nasal Irregularities: An Experimental Study

“…Up to now, onlay graft studies were commonly performed on rabbit frontal, calvarium, and back regions [37,[48][49][50][51]. In this study, onlay grafts were used on a more realistic model in which osteotomies and dorsal resections were performed [19].…”
