diced rib cartilage is an acceptable option in severe nasal deformities. we present our preliminary experience in kamc in nasal septoplasties using the autologous diced costal cartilage. this is a retrospective study of the 22 cases who needed the autologous diced costal cartilage in our centre in 4 years. all our patients needed autologous diced rib cartilages. twelve were wrapped with tempora...

Human amniotic membrane as a homograft material was compared to temporalis fascia to close tympanic membrane perforations in 50 patients with chronic otitis media. Human amniotic membrane was used in 20 patients while temporalis fascia was used in the remaining 30. Anatomical closure of the perforation and reduction of the air-bone gap was measured. The graft uptake showed a 65% success rate fo...

Patients with poor levator function require ptosis correction by a sling procedure. A variety of synthetic materials are available for this suspension, but there is a recognized complication rate. Autografts are less prone to infection and extrusion than alloplastic materials. Harvesting temporalis fascia has a number of advantages over the use of fascia lata and outcomes have been effective. A...

introduction: to demonstrate surgical techniques and to compare the anatomical and functional outcomes between temporalis fascia and cartilage palisade grafting in type-i underlay tympanoplasty in patients with large/subtotal perforation.materials and methods:temporalis fascia and cartilage palisade grafting were conducted in group a and group b, respectively, each containing 30 patients with l...

orbital fat adherence syndrome is a known complication of strabismus, orbital and scleral buckling surgery or orbital trauma which induces a restrictive strabismus. in this case presentation we introduce a surgical method of globe slinging using temporalis fascia for correction of restrictive esotropia due to fat adherence syndrome. in our review of literature we found no report of a similar pr...

BACKGROUND: Difficulty of reconstruction of the eyelids arises from the need to reconstruct different supporting and covering structures in a single operation. Defects in the anterior lamella of the eyelids can be readily repaired with skin grafts or flaps but posterior lamellar reconstruction needs more complex applications. METHODS: We performed posterior lamellar eyelid reconstruction with p...

OBJECTIVES To correlate the recurrence of temporalis fascia graft perforation and retraction in adults and children after tympanoplasty for chronic tubotympanic otitis and deep attic retraction pockets with age, pathologic process, mucosal lesions, mucociliary transport time, chronic sinusitis, and lateral attic wall reconstruction. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary referral cent...

In our otological practice, we prefer sliced tragal cartilageperichondrium grafting for reconstruction of the tympanic membrane perforations. In an attempt to reduce residual and recurrent perforations in our series of cartilage tympanoplasty using sliced tragal cartilage perichondrium composite graft, we reinforce tragal cartilage with temporalis fascia in large perforations. Aim: The purpose ...
