[Reconstructive septal surgery: review of various implants in the nasal area]
Abstract
In the reconstructive techniques of the nose the rhinologist must employ several materials for rebuilding unprotected septo-pyramidal areas. In spite of its partial resorption the cartilage continues to be the best element. Other objections for its use either the distortion or its weakness against infections, are overcome by an appropriate preparation of the graft.
