متن کاملDonor-Site Morbidity Following Minimally Invasive Costal Cartilage Harvest Technique
OBJECTIVES Autologous costal cartilage is a promising alternative for mastoid obliteration. However, donor-site morbidities of the chest wall limit the use of this graft. To address this issue, we have developed a minimally-invasive technique of harvesting costal cartilage and report donor site morbidity associated with the procedure. METHODS Donor site morbidities were evaluated for 151 pati...
