Abstract
Nowadays, rhinoplasty is one of the most popular surgical procedures. Dorsal contour irregularities caused by various maneuvers, such as hump resection, are a major concern in patients who have undergone rhinoplasty. The most common graft used in this case is dorsal onlay graft which is made from sliced and crushed cartilage. Ear, nose and throat specialists usually use Swester table (mayo desk) for preparing the graft, if there is no other steril metal instrument. Crushed cartilage is done on a sterile gauze or on the tables' cover, as a result cartilage may be contaminated with particules from the tables' cover and sterile gauze.The authors recommend using the steril pack of a new sterilized surgical instrument opened on the table for the slicing or crushing process. In this way, the cartilage can be spared from contamination and the loss of some cartilage to the table during slicing or crushing can be prevented.
