Abstract

Rhinoplasty is a surgery where the result depends on precision in assessment, shaping and placing grafts. The grafts should be accurately measured with the help of precise measuring instruments. There is a need of instruments which allow precise slicing, measuring and re-sizing of the grafts. Other than depending on multiple instruments for slicing and measuring, we need a single instrument with multiple functions. We have developed a simple tool for measurements in Rhinoplasty incorporating both measurement grid and costal cartilage slicer into one device.
