Rib cartilage harvesting

This short video clip shows how I harvest a 4 cm rib cartilage from a 1.7 cm incision. Initial 1.5 cm incision changed into 1.7 cm incision with stretching. No muscle is cut during the dissection and it minimized postoperative pain. Incision heals well with meticulous suture. There is no need for admission and the patient can go home on the day of surgery.
