Excision technique for chondrodermatitis nodularis helicis.

Abstract

This painful nodule of the ear commonly recurs at the tips of the excision ellipse. To minimize this risk, a smooth transition from the normal helical rim to the defect can be achieved by undermining between the skin and cartilage at the ends of the ellipse and trimming the cartilage spikes.

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.
