| | POST-BURN NIPPLE RECONSTRUCTION WITH MODIFIED FISHTAIL FLAP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | In this study, using the modified fishtail flap, we reconstructed 37 nipples in 28 females suffering from post-burn deformed nipples, including destruction and malpositioning of the nipple areola complex. |
 | | In all the patients we used the modified fishtail flap for nipple reconstruction, and a nipple projection between 3-4 mm was achieved. |
 | | The repair procedure should not be performed until breast development is reasonably well advanced for fear of causing further destruction.12 The aim of this study is to evaluate the modified fishtail flap in the reconstruction of post-burn nipple, as regards shape and projection. |
