Abstrakt: Cartilage grafting has been used extensively to correct the nasal framework in traumatic and postrhinoplasty nasal deformities. Autologous cartilage grafts yield satisfactory reconstructive results, but their use is limited by donor-site morbidity, patient choice, the requirement for increased operative time, and the lack of a sufficient quantity and availability of tissue for more extensive deformities. Alternatively, preserved costal cartilage homograft represents a readily available, easily contoured material.
