Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Manual contouring of cartilage for nasal reconstruction is tedious and time-consuming. The use of a robot could improve the speed and precision of the contouring process. This cadaveric study evaluates the efficiency and accuracy of a robot methodology for contouring the lower lateral cartilage of the nasal tip.
