Spectrum of cartilage grafting in cutaneous reconstructive surgery - 09/09/11
Abstract |
Background: The use of cartilage grafts in cutaneous reconstructive surgery is becoming increasingly common among dermatologic surgeons. Objective: Our purpose was to describe the indications, technical application, results, and complications associated with cartilage grafting in cutaneous reconstructive surgery. Methods: The spectrum of cartilage grafting is reviewed, and illustrative examples are provided. Results: A well-planned application of cartilage grafts in cutaneous reconstructive surgery can provide exceptional results, permitting restoration of impaired anatomic free margins as well as maintenance of the functional patency of key anatomic structures such as the nasal valve. Conclusion: Cartilage grafting in cutaneous reconstructive surgery is an important method to ensure optimal reconstructive outcomes. Dermatologists involved in reconstructive surgery will experience improved results through the application of these techniques. (J Am Acad Dermatol 1998;39:982-92.)
