Surgiform (Surgiform Technology, Ltd., Lugoff, SC) is a recently introduced ePTFE material with physical characteristics that are slightly different from Gore-Tex (W.L. Gore &amp; Associates, Flagstaff, AZ). Changes in Surgiform thickness after rhinoplasty are not well documented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective study enrolled 16 patients (12 male and 4 female patients) who underwent primary augmentation rhinoplasty with Surgiform.

The mean thickness of inserted implants was 2.37 \u00b1 0.80 mm at the rhinion and 3.12 \u00b1 1.26 mm at the supratip. The follow-up thickness was 2.35 \u00b1 0.77 mm at the rhinion and 3.09 \u00b1 1.23 mm at the supratip. Implant thickness did not decrease significantly at the rhinion (p = 0.112) or the supratip (p = 0.165).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ultrasonographic monitoring indicated that Surgiform e-PTFE does not shrink significantly over time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2500\/ajra.2012.26.3801","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,5]],"date-time":"2012-09-05T11:46:52Z","timestamp":1346845612000},"page":"e137-e141","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Ultrasonographic Monitoring of New Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene Implant Thickness after Augmentation Rhinoplasty"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Yong Gi","family":"Jung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Samsung Changwon Hospital, Changwon-Si"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyoung Hwi","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Samsung Changwon Hospital, Changwon-Si"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hun-Jong","family":"Dhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Samsung Seoul Hospital, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00266-010-9546-2"},{"key":"bibr2-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0030-1253507"},{"key":"bibr3-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2007.01.009"},{"key":"bibr4-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.prs.0000299386.73127.a7"},{"key":"bibr5-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archfacial.2010.54"},{"key":"bibr6-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajra.2009.23.3402"},{"key":"bibr7-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.moo.0000233599.14671.4a"},{"key":"bibr8-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199408000-00003"},{"key":"bibr9-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1983.00800210003001"},{"key":"bibr10-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-200006000-00045"},{"key":"bibr11-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02841850410008207"},{"key":"bibr12-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2011.02.001"},{"key":"bibr13-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajra.2009.23.3273"},{"key":"bibr14-ajra.2012.26.3801","first-page":"337","volume":"27","author":"Mendelsohn M","year":"1998","journal-title":"J Otolaryngol"},{"key":"bibr15-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajr.2006.20.2948"},{"key":"bibr16-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.20158"},{"key":"bibr17-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e3181c82f12"},{"key":"bibr18-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archfaci.1.2.118"},{"key":"bibr19-ajra.2012.26.3801","first-page":"44","volume":"42","author":"Rothstein SG","year":"1989","journal-title":"Entechnology"},{"key":"bibr20-ajra.2012.26.3801","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2004-815653"}],"container-title":["American Journal of Rhinology &amp;
