Tissue Engineering for Facial Reconstruction Ribeiro L, Castro E, Ferreira M, et al. The concepts and applications of tissue engineering in otorhinolaryngology. Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp . 2015; 66(1):43-48. EBM level 4 Summary : Ribeiro et al provide an excellent baseline explanation of the three components of tissue engineering — cell, regulators, and scaffolds — is provided, along with examples for how the process can work in laryngology, facial reconstruction, head and neck surgery, and otology.

Stem Cells Transl Med . 2014; 3(12):1495-1503. EBM level 2 Summary : The study describes an experiment that presents basic science principles to maximize cell viability at different time points of incubation. Once maximized, these cells are then used to reconstruct a maxillary bony defect with implants to obtain a good result. This is an excellent example of bench-top progress to improve clinical care and outcome. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty Baker SR. Diced cartilage augmentation: early experience with the Tasman technique. Arch Facial Plast Surg . 2012; 14(6):451-455. EBM level 4 Summary : This paper presents a retrospective review of diced cartilage grafts in rhinoplasty and offers helpful tips on use of this technique. Bitik O, Uzun H, Kamburoğlu HO, et al. Revisiting the role of columellar strut graft in primary open approach rhinoplasty. Plast Reconstr Surg . 2015; 135(4):987-997. EBM level 4 Summary : This paper examines the role of the columellar strut and its role in tip support. It questions the standard thinking about the necessity of columellar strut placement in external rhinoplasty. Ilhan AE, Saribas B, Caypinar B.
