Viability of chondroplastic graft.
The operation of chondroplastic graft augmentation rhinoplasty was described in a previous paper by the present author. Seventeen months following one such clinically successful operation, the opportunity was taken at a subsequent nasal procedure to remove a small portion of the original graft and submit this to histological examination. The results of this confirm the viability of a graft harvested and implanted by this technique.
