In the postoperative period, no complications were observed. Photographs and three-dimensional computed tomography views obtained 13 months after the operation showed that the reconstruction area was highly free of postoperative resorption. The patient's complaints disappeared, and he was satisfied with functional and cosmetic results. Moreover, a histologic evaluation which was made to assess the depth of the glandular component showed that the inferior turbinate bone could be used over the nasal dorsum in a smoother shape, retaining its overlying soft tissue.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessadultarticlebone transplantationcase reporthumanmalemethodologynose injurypathologyplastic surgeryskin transplantationAdultBone TransplantationHumansMaleNose Deformities, AcquiredReconstructive Surgical ProceduresSkin TransplantationArticle105203207129705942-s2.0-0642280800N/A
