Bone graft craniofacial reconstruction
Iowa Medicine : Journal of the Iowa Medical Society
|October 1, 1990
Abstract:
Craniofacial reconstruction provides functional benefits such as allowing unimpeded brain growth in children or brain protection in adults like our patient. There are also significant psychological and social benefits. Before surgery, this patient refused to be seen in public because of his bizarre appearance; he now functions better. As William Mayo said, "It is the divine right of man to look human."
