Different Preparations of Cadaveric Costal Cartilage Compared to Autologous Rib Cartilage in Rhinoplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Listen to this summary

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical and biomechanical outcomes of different preparations of cadaveric costal cartilage compared to autologous rib cartilage in rhinoplasty, focusing on resorption, warping, and infection rates. The findings suggest that homologous costal cartilage can be a viable alternative to autologous rib cartilage, particularly with modern preservation methods, though the choice of graft should be tailored to individual patient and surgical considerations rather than a blanket preference for one type over the other.
