Modified Conchal Cartilage Sandwich Graft Method for Repair of Split Earlobe

The document presents three separate abstracts from a 2018 supplement, each detailing different surgical techniques and their outcomes. The first abstract discusses a study on the efficacy and safety of nanofat combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treating androgenic alopecia in 24 male patients. The study found that a single injection session of nanofat+PRP resulted in a significant increase in hair density and thickness, superior to PRP only, with the peak effect at 6 months and some results persisting at 12 months, without any adverse events. The second abstract describes a modified conchal cartilage sandwich graft method for repairing split earlobes in 48 women, with a follow-up period of 4 years. The technique involves using conchal cartilage to reinforce the earlobe, allowing immediate reperforation and earring application, resulting in high patient satisfaction and no recurrence of earlobe splitting. The third abstract reports on the use of liposome bupivacaine for postoperative pain control in labiaplasty patients. The study compared liposome bupivacaine to lidocaine with epinephrine and found that liposome bupivacaine significantly reduced pain post-surgery, with the greatest effect in the early postoperative period. The document also mentions a study on customized alloplastic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction in patients with congenital mandibular defects, but does not provide results or conclusions for this study.
