Surgical outcomes and complications of septal extension graft supported by 3D printed polycaprolactone plate

The Laryngoscope Dec 05, 2019

Kim SH, et al. - Since tip plasty using a septal extension graft (SEG) was useful in the Asian population, however, complications like decreased tip projection, infection, or deviation were noted postsurgery, and additional support using an SEG was often necessary, researchers sought to transplant an additional 3D printed polycaprolactone (PCL) graft to the tip plasty utilizing the SEG to reinforce the SEG. The sample consisted of 43 individuals (mean age, 28.7 years; range, 17–58 years) who received rhinoplasties using the SEG method combined with a 3D printed PCL graft from November 2016 to August 2017. According to findings, 26 patients ranked their level of satisfaction as outstanding, 13 decent rated, 3 average rated, and 1 bad rated. Given the support, biocompatibility and manipulability offered by the 3D-printed PCL graft, care is needed to avoid complications.
