Precultivation of engineered human nasal cartilage enhances the mechanical properties relevant for use in facial reconstructive surgery [PDF]
To investigate if precultivation of human engineered nasal cartilage grafts of clinically relevant size would increase the suture retention strength at implantation and the tensile and bending stiffness 2 weeks after implantation.

Onlay Rib Bone Graft in Elevation of Reconstructed Auricle: 17 Years of Experience [PDF]
Background A cartilage wedge block and covering flap are standard procedures for firm elevation of the ear in microtia correction. However, using costal cartilage for elevation of the reconstructed auricle can be insufficient, and the fixed cartilage ...

Use of pectoralis major fascia in dorsal nasal augmentation: case report [PDF]
Increasing the nasal dorsum in rhinoplasty is the focus of several studies that seek the best graft sources and surgical techniques. The use of cartilage from the nasal septum, ear shell, or costal arches is already established for this purpose.

Numerical analysis of costal cartilage warping after laser modification [PDF]
Grafts obtained from peripheral regions of costal cartilage have an inherent tendency to warp over time. Laser irradiation provides a potential method to control the warping process, thus yielding stable grafts for facial reconstructive surgery.

Concentrations of volatile substances in costal cartilage in relation to blood and urine – preliminary studies [PDF]
Aim: The study aimed to examine whether volatile substances (ethanol, isopropanol, and acetone) can be detected in costal cartilage and also if concentrations of detected substances reliably reflect their concentrations in the peripheral blood – the ...
