Experimental and clinical study on the vitality of orthotopic cartilage transplants.

abstract：BACKGROUND:During breast reconstruction after mastectomy, the long-term deterioration of the projection of neonipples led the authors to modify Thomas's technique in its design and use. METHODS:The results were evaluated after at least 10 months, in 14 patients, by comparative measurement of diameters and projection o...
