Nasal tip support.

Abstract

One of the most important anatomic elements of successful rhinoplasty is nasal tip support and its influence on nasal tip projection, yet the medical literature is vague about what creates and maintains nasal tip support. During the years, 12 or more structures have been implicated that may be important. We believe the two controlling factors are the strength of the alar cartilages and the position of the septal angle.

Costal cartilage grafting for repair of a recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula in a 1.6-kg baby with esophageal atresia.

A large intraoperative tracheal tear occurred during correction of a type III esophageal atresia in a 1,630-g premature baby. It was repaired by primary suture. Recurrence of the tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) was treated operatively with esophageal exclusion and costal cartilage grafting (CCG) onto the tracheal defect. At 3 months of age, successful esophageal reconstruction was performed using a posterior mediastinal colonic interposition. On 27-month follow-up, the child was symptom-free and thriving. Surgical options for TEF recurrence and intraoperative management of the tracheal air leak are discussed. CCG is advocated as an attractive material for tracheal repair even in low-weight prematures.

The use of a homologous preserved costal cartilage in an infant with Poland's syndrome.

Poland's syndrome is a rarely encountered congenital deficiency involving chest wall and breast deformity associated with hand anomalies. Chest wall reconstruction is necessary if the bony thorax is involved. We present the use of a homologous preserved costal cartilage for reconstruction of the chest wall in an infant with Poland's syndrome, the use of which provided optimal chest wall stability with a favourable outcome.
