Plast Reconstr Surg. 1998 Nov;102(6):1869-73. doi: 10.1097/00006534-199811000-00010.

Abstract

A follow-up of 363 cranial bone grafts for nasal reconstruction is presented. The main indications for the surgery were congenital, posttraumatic, or postrhinoplasty deformity. The results were satisfactory in the vast majority of cases. The complications associated with the grafts and with the donor site are discussed, as are the methods to treat and prevent these complications from occurring.
