Abstract

Autologous cartilage as donor tissue for various surgical reconstructions such as nasal septum regeneration is limited and associated with donor site morbidity. Our goal was to evaluate a new resorbable chondroconductive biomaterial made of decellularized porcine nasal septum cartilage compared with autologous native auricular cartilage as the gold standard. In order to examine the material and determine its long-term outcome further, we used subcutaneous implantation and septal implantation in an orthotopic rabbit model. In addition to non-seeded decellularized xenogenic cartilage, chondrocyte-seeded decellularized xenogenic cartilage was implanted as a septal replacement. After a three- or six-month period, the formation of newly synthesized cartilage extracellular matrix was evaluated immunohistochemically, whereas septal integrity and biocompatibility were evaluated histologically. The formation of the implanted neoseptum and form stability was analyzed by using 7-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
