title: An artificial prosthesis to reconstruct donor defects following facial transplantation.
abstract: Post-harvest donor facial appearance is likely to have an impact on both the donor family and the transplant harvest team. We describe a method of fabricating a donor-specific artificial prosthesis, which can be constructed within the time frame of the facial graft harvest.
