Allografts Use in Nasal Reconstruction
2020
The outcomes of destructive processes of the nasal structure such as infection, chronic inflammation, or resective procedures can lead to the need of complex reconstruction of the nasal framework. Various types of grafts and implants have been employed throughout the years: a graft is made of tissue either from the same patient (autograft) or from a member of the same species (homograft). Implants are synthetic and if implantable are defined as alloplasts. The present chapter analyzes reconstructive rhinoplasty with alloplastic materials, to investigate the advantages of alloplastic materials and their complications.
