title: Endoscopy-Assisted Single-Incision Technique to Harvest the Conchal Cartilage and Temporal Fascia Simultaneously by Using Phaco Slit Knife.
abstract: Conchal cartilage and temporal fascia grafts are useful materials for secondary rhinoplasty cases. Generally, surgeons require to access autologous grafts fast and effortlessly. Harvesting 2 different types of graft, such as cartilage and fascia, however, are associated with limitations, such as additional surgery time, extra incisions, and postoperative additional distortions at the graft-host interface. The authors evolved a modified single incision that would harvest conchal cartilage and temporal fascia simultaneously by using 4 mm endoscope and 3 mm angled phaco slit knife.
