The epidemiology of autologous tissue grafting in primary and revision rhinoplasty

ConclusionsCartilaginous or bony grafting is a critical surgical technique in both primary and secondary rhinoplasties. This is the first study to examine percentages of site ‐specific autologous grafting from auricular and costal donor sites for primary and revision cases. Gender and age‐specific trends associated with specific grafting sites are also identified. These data are important to help guide preoperative counseling and informed consent for all rhinoplasty surgeries.Level of EvidenceNALaryngoscope, 2018 (Source: The Laryngoscope)
