Structural grafting in rhinoseptoplasty — cadaver lab, operative video, and expert instruction
Drs. Davids and Stucker demonstrate how structural grafting rhinoseptoplasty principles apply across primary and complex cases through cadaver dissection and recorded surgical footage. The course moves through graft harvesting, shaping, and fixation techniques using both live cadaver specimens and full-length rhinoseptoplasty cases, showing how cartilage and septal grafts restore nasal framework stability.

Inside this resource
Graft harvesting and shaping on cadaver specimens
A hands-on cadaver dissection anchors the educational experience, letting you watch graft placement, suturing patterns, and structural reinforcement in real time alongside the faculty. The cadaver environment provides realistic tissue conditions for practicing septal extension grafts, spreader grafts, and alar rim grafts — techniques that require tactile feedback to master. Each demonstration includes the reasoning behind graft selection and placement decisions.
Operative video of full rhinoseptoplasty cases
Operative video supplements the cadaver work with full-length rhinoseptoplasty cases, showing how the techniques practiced on specimens translate to live tissue with its attendant bleeding, swelling, and anatomical variation. The combination of cadaver lab and operative footage gives both the practice environment and the clinical reality, reinforced by a moderated Q&A with Drs. Davids and Stucker.
Framework reconstruction principles
Dedicated segments address the biomechanical principles underlying structural grafting — how spreader grafts restore the middle vault, how septal extension grafts control tip projection, and how alar strut grafts prevent nostril collapse. These foundational concepts connect the individual techniques into a coherent framework that you can apply to your own rhinoseptoplasty cases.

Rachel K. –
The framework reconstruction principles section is the strongest part of the course. Understanding the biomechanics behind each graft type makes the technique decisions logical rather than arbitrary.
Lisa P. –
Well worth the investment for anyone doing structural rhinoseptoplasty. The graft harvesting and shaping modules are thorough, though I wanted more on revision cases.
Ahmed R. –
blending cadaver dissection with recorded surgical cases offers both the training setting and the real clinical context environment and the clinical reality. Dr. Stucker’s explanations during cases are particularly clear.
Sophie T. –
Structural grafting principles finally clicked for me after seeing the suturing techniques demonstrated in the cadaver lab. The connection between theory and practice is immediate.
Greg H. –
The cadaver dissection component elevates this above standard lecture-based programs. Watching Drs. Davids and Stucker demonstrate graft placement in real tissue was transformative.
Michael D. –
Drs. Davids and Stucker bring decades of rhinoplasty experience to this program. Their willingness to discuss complications and how they managed them adds genuine educational depth.
