Reconstruction of a total rhinectomy defect by implant-retained nasal prosthesis: A clinical report

A Case of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Nasal Cavity Treated With Total Rhinectomy

“…The nose is an anatomically complex structure and our patient will face many obstacles with reconstruction. Often a nasal prosthesis is used in partial or total rhinectomies to improve final cosmetic and functional results [ 11 ]. However, due to financial reasons, our patient declined reconstruction using a prosthesis, which leaves autologous and microvascular grafts.…”

Evaluation of the osteoinductive potential of HDPSCs cultured on β-glycerol phosphate functionalized MWCNTs/PCL membranes for bone regeneration

“…Many studies have shown that the not only composition but also other biomaterials properties such as charge, surface energy, modulus, topography, porosity and crystallinity controls stem cell differentiation [19,23]. Javanmard et al designed a single nanofiber with nanoroughness to modulate and promote the osteogenic response [16]. On the other hands, proper tissue function and regeneration rely on the spatial and temporal control of biophysical and biochemical cues, including soluble molecules, cell-cell contacts, cell-extracellular matrix contacts and physical forces.…”

Total rhinectomy with prosthesis placement as a treatment for moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the nose

“…The nose is a typical subsite of head and neck skin cancers, being the squamous cell carcinoma the most common histological subtype. 1 , 2 , 3 This type of tumor shows a locally aggressive growth and tends to invade cartilage and deeper structures requiring a subtotal or total rhinectomy when they are larger than 1 cm and have greater invasion of the surrounding structures. 1 , 2 , 3 Although total rhinectomy leads to excellent tumor control, it alters the patient's appearance, disturbs facial harmony, and may affect nasal function depending on the resected elements.…”
