| Popis: | Gore-Tex soft tissue patches were used in 12 cases for augmentation during rhinoplasty. This synthetic material proved to be completely inert and tissue-compatible. There were no cases of untoward effects such as overlying skin changes, infection, or implant extrusion. A literature review reveals a total of 52 reported cases of nasal augmentation with Gore-Tex. Similar results were reported in these studies. By all reports, Gore-Tex is an acceptable synthetic implant for nasal dorsal augmentation, when autogenous cartilage is not available or would require a second procedure for harvesting. |
