[Notes apropos of cartilage grafts in secondary rhinoplasties according to Sheen's technique. Apropos of an analysis of 67 cases].
Between 1989 and 1992, eighty-one rhinoplasties included the addition of free autologous cartilage grafts, sixty-seven of which were secondary procedures. The aesthetic and respiratory results were assessed with at least one year of follow-up post-op for fifty four cases representing the true material of the study. This paper illustrates the advantages of septal cartilage graft versus conchal grafts, particularly for restitution of the dorsum of the nose. No "open rhinoplasty" procedure was necessary in this series. The authors conclude that "Sheen's" procedure using multiple isolated pockets in such cases is reliable if its basic rules are strictly applied and if one accepts that septal cartilage grafts must be preferred as far as possible.
