Abstract
In 24 cases scutiform polytetrafluoroethylene patches were implanted to correct saddle malformation and irregularities of the nasal dorsum. For smaller tissue defects of the nasal bone and cartilage, the patches are very suitable in rhinosurgery. One of the advantages of the implant is that it makes the reconstructed area appear as natural as possible.Keywords
