Objective To report on 8 years of experience with 156 titanium mesh and porous
polyethylene implants used for craniofacial reconstruction after skull base surgery in 100 …

Porous polyethylene implants are available that are designed to augment the mandibular
ramus and body. They can be used to increase the bigonial distance in patients with normal …

We describe use of flexblock, a newly designed Medpor porous polyethylene implant. This
implant is ideally suited for repair of small to me-dium-sized cranial defects and correction of …

Nasal reconstruction presents a significant challenge to the facial plastic surgeon. The dual
goals of reconstruction are restoration of the desired aesthetic nasal contour and an …

Results Seventy-five percent of patients were revision rhinoplasties at the time of surgery.
Seven out of thirty two (21%) patients developed a complication. In four cases, the …

Facial reconstruction and augmentation, integral in facial plastic surgery, address defects
related to trauma, tumors infections, and congenital skeletal deficiencies. Aesthetic …

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of porous polyethylene in paranasal
augmentation on the overlying soft tissue. Thirty-three patients underwent paranasal …

Surgical reconstruction of the skull base and cranium adjacent to open paranasal sinuses
with alloplastic materials is problematic secondary to an increased risk of implant infection in …

Objective: To evaluate the ability of porous high-density polyethylene (Medpor) implants to
tolerate exposure and support skin grafts when used to reconstruct defects in auricular …

The external appearance of the face is largely dictated by its supporting facial skeleton. After
an extensive thermal injury, the underlying facial skeleton may need to be either augmented …
