- Title
A novel technique for sculpting costal cartilage in microtia repair and rhinoplasty.
- Authors
Lee, Linda N; Boahene, Kofi D
- Abstract
Transforming a block of costal cartilage into a complex 3-dimensional framework that reflects the contours of a normal ear or nasal bridge requires the creation of many subtle curves, concavities, and convexities. Thus, specialized instruments for microtia repair and rhinoplasty, with specifically curved sharp blades, are used for delicate carving without the need for excessive force, which can damage the framework. Several challenges are associated with these specialized instruments.
