Overview

Cohort study reveals stable dorsal height and absence of warping in rhinoplasty patients, indicating diced cartilage with tissue adhesive is a reliable reconstructive option.

Key Points

To evaluate the surgical technique, clinical efficacy, and complication rates of dorsal nasal augmentation using diced costal cartilage combined with tissue adhesive.
Retrospective evaluation of 476 patients undergoing rhinoplasty with diced autologous costal cartilage or irradiated homologous costal cartilage (IHCC) combined with tissue adhesive between 2022 and 2023.
Surgical approach featured precise pocket dissection, injectable cartilage-adhesive graft delivery, and external splint molding.
Outcomes and safety profiles were assessed using postoperative physical examinations, serial photography, and patient feedback.
In 298 patients with over 6 months of follow-up (mean, 10.5 months), zero cases of clinically evident graft warping, dorsal height loss, or graft resorption were observed.
Approximately two-thirds of the cohort were revision surgeries and nearly three-fourths were classified as complicated deformities.
Postoperative complications were rare and managed successfully using minimally invasive procedures.
