NCT01242618

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of implanting an engineered cartilage graft, obtained by culturing expanded autologous nasal chondrocytes within a collagen type I/III membrane, in the alar lobule of patients after resection of a non melanoma skin cancer.

    Post operative complications could be: infections, bleeding, formation of scar tissue, asymmetry of the nostril to the opposite side

    12 months post reconstruction

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • feasibility of treatment

    12 months post reconstruction

Study Arms (1)

EXPERIMENTAL

Biological intervention: autologous nasal chondrocytes expanded in vitro and cultured in a collagen Type I/III scaffold

Biological: engineered nasal cartilage graft

Interventions
