Abstract

Chronic cartilage lesions, like septal and auricular perforations, are easily found at the otolaryngologist office. Its treatment is a challenge for physicians and patients, due to few alternatives and limit success. With the objective to decrease the surgical procedures, it s been studying alternative methods for the total regeneration of the cartilaginous defects. The use of cellular therapy had been used in some cases, but there are no chronic cartilaginous protocols well written in the medical literature to compare the different results. This paper has the objective to describe a chronic cartilaginous lesion in an experimental model, for future studies with cellular therapy.
