Pressure Necrosis of Septal Cartilage Associated With Bilateral Extended Spreader Grafts in Rhinoplasty [Original Article]

Conclusions Septal cartilage compressive necrosis leading to structural damage by bilateral septal ESGs is a clinically significant complication of rhinoplasty. Owing to its affect on the viability of the original septal cartilages, we believe the unilateral ESG with columellar strut is preferred, especially in Asian patients.

Reply to ‘Percutaneous tracheostomy after full thickness burns to the neck: Why not?’

We thank the authors of the letter for their interesting contribution. With regard to tracheostomy after full thickness burns to the neck, we have merely reflected on our practice in the paper. We do not state that percutaneous tracheostomy is contra-indicated in these patients. The meta analysis refers to tracheostomies done in an ICU in non-burned patients . Our results in burn patients show no difference in complications including stomal infection. The authors of the letter should be cautious about making any significant conclusions on a series of 10 patients. (Source: Burns : Journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries)

Daily Facial Stimulation to Improve Recovery After Facial Nerve Repair in Rats [Unknown Section Name (research-article)]

Conclusions Daily mechanical whisker stimulation via either protraction or retraction significantly improves recovery of whisking after facial nerve transection and repair. This finding supports the role of early soft-tissue manipulation after facial nerve repair and may have clinical implications for the postoperative management of patients after facial nerve manipulations.
