ABSTRACT
During the three years in which this study was done, 25 complete and documented cases that were reviewed, underwent a rhinoplasty with costal cartilage graft at the Central Military Hospital of the Mexico City, 8 of which were male patients (32%) and 17 were female (68%).
In 17 patients, tree piece graft was used, image 6 in 5 more patients costal graft of a single piece was used (nasal dorsum), and, finally, in 3 patients an L shaped graft was used. imagen 19 Complications with the costal cartilage graft were present in 4 (16%) of the 25 patients that underwent a rhinoplasty with costal cartilage graft, in 2 of them we did not only used the medullar portion of the costal cartilage and it got deformed; in another case we used an L shaped costal cartilage graft which was placed with a lot tension under the skin and it provoked necrosis; in the last case the patient had an infection of the graft with puss secretion a year and a half after the surgery.
In our results we have found that if we use the cortical part of the costal cartilage in a graft, it has a bigger tendency to deformity even using a center-medullar Kirshner nail, that’s why we recommend the use of the medullar portion of the costal cartilage, we have also identified that with the L shaped grafts,imagen 19 the skin has a lot more tension on the tip of the nose, so we recommend to shape the graft in order to reduce the tension on the nasal tip.
With this study we concluded that when we use the medullar portion of the costal cartilage to shape a graft, it has a minor risk of deformity, the cartilage, in its cortical and medullar portions, has a high risk of deformate itself.
It is imperative to avoid excessive tension on the skin of the nasal tip and columella to prevent necrosis.
