title: Preliminary report on use of AlloDerm for closure of intraoral defects after buccal mucosal harvest.
abstract: The ideal method for managing the intraoral defect after harvesting buccal mucosa for urethral reconstruction has not been clearly established. We describe a novel technique using AlloDerm to cover the harvest site, providing a simple means for a potentially less painful tension-free closure.
