A custom-made nasal implant: prefabrication from curing of silicone adhesive.

abstract：:When neurofibroma involves the face, it can lead to a most disfiguring, destructive, and debilitating condition. Because of the unique aesthetic and functional properties of the face, the surgeon might hesitate to remove all of the involved soft tissues and facial nerves in a radical procedure. Involvement of the cran...
