Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Cartilage grafts have been commonly used in plastic and reconstructive surgery applications for many different goals, such as auricular reconstruction and rhinoplasty. The use of autologous cartilage is ideal for many reasons. An attempt was made to produce an experimental animal model to test the efficacy of otogenic Surgicel-wrapped sliced cartilage.
