Structural rhinoplasty is a complex surgical procedure that aims to restore and enhance nasal structure and function by reconstructing the underlying framework. Robust grafting material is required for durable results. For revision or secondary rhinoplasty cases where septal and conchal cartilage reserves are exhausted, autologous rib cartilage grafting remains the cornerstone of structural reconstruction, providing comprehensive solutions. The problem arises when the harvested costal cartilage is of little use due to widespread ossification, brittleness, and insufficient size. The "Papyrus graft" presents a novel approach and emerges as a promising solution to address these limitations and achieve effective and sustainable results when other grafts are either in short supply or found to be useless.
A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent structural rhinoplasty using the "Papyrus graft" between 2018 and 2024. Data collected included patient demographics, graft survival, surgical outcomes, and complications.
Papyrus grafts showed a high success rate in achieving desired nasal shape and structural integrity with significant improvement in nasal shape and patient satisfaction. A total of 18 patients (13 females and 5 males) with a mean age of 29.8 years were included in the study. No major complications noted.
The "Papyrus graft" offers a breakthrough in structural rhinoplasty, providing a robust, reliable, and versatile grafting solution. Its use can enhance outcomes and expand possibilities in nasal reconstruction, especially in hopeless situations when surgeon falls short of usable cartilage grafts.

鼻整形术是一种复杂的外科手术，旨在通过重建鼻下框架来恢复和改善鼻的结构与功能。为获得持久效果，需要坚固的移植材料。对于鼻中隔和耳甲软骨储备已耗尽的修复性或二次鼻整形病例，自体肋软骨移植仍是结构重建的基石，能提供全面的解决方案。然而，当获取的肋软骨因广泛骨化、脆性和尺寸不足而几乎无法使用时，问题就出现了。“纸莎草移植术”提出了一种新方法，成为解决这些局限性的有前景的方案，当其他移植材料短缺或无用时，能实现有效且可持续的效果。
对2018年至2024年间接受“纸莎草移植术”鼻整形术的患者进行回顾性研究。收集的数据包括患者人口统计学资料、移植存活情况、手术结果和并发症。
纸莎草移植术在实现理想鼻形和结构完整性方面成功率很高，鼻形和患者满意度有显著改善。该研究共纳入18例患者（13例女性和5例男性），平均年龄29.8岁。未发现重大并发症。
“纸莎草移植术”在鼻整形术中取得了突破，提供了一种坚固、可靠且通用的移植解决方案。其应用可改善手术效果并拓展鼻重建的可能性，特别是在外科医生缺乏可用软骨移植材料的无望情况下。
