Abstract

Since 1969, all our constructive, reconstructive, and aesthetic otoplasties have been managed without a conformer dressing. U-sutures, loosely tied over coated cotton rolls up until 1975, when thin and elastic silicone tubes began to be used, maintain the tissues in their new position. Experience and results of 193 ear operations are reported.

Rolled auricular cartilage grafts for dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty.

We present a technique, which has not been previously described in the literature, of using rolled autogenous conchal cartilage for dorsal augmentation via an endonasal or external rhinoplasty approach. This technique gives greater dorsal height compared with the more common layering techniques. It is most appropriate in the minimally or moderately saddled nose.

Repair of tympanic membrane perforation using a modified cartilage-perichondrium composite ring graft.

Ring graft is a modified cartilage-perichondrium composite graft (CPCG) with only a peripheral ring shaped cartilage. In this series, tympanic membrane perforations were repaired using (ring graft) during treatment of 18 cases of non-cholesteatomatous chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). This study showed that ring graft has the advantages of both CPCG and perichondrial graft but without their disadvantages. Complete closure of the perforations was achieved in all cases without delay in hearing improvement. It is recommended to use the ring graft whenever needed to repair central tympanic membrane perforations even with difficult anterior or total perforations.
