  • Title: 'Elephant' graft to assist implant-retained nasal prosthesis.
    Author: Ethunandan M, Downie IP.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2008 Jun; 37(6):576-7. PubMed ID: 18296028.
    Abstract:
    Large rhinectomy defects can be reconstructed with endosseous craniofacial implants and an alloplastic implant-retained prosthesis. The survival of the implants and prosthesis is aided by the placement of split skin grafts. A simple and effective technique is described to enable accurate placement of a split skin graft in a single piece, by shaping it 'like an elephant'.
