title: A Rapid, Simple, Effective, and Inexpensive Reconstructed Nipple Flap Guard.
abstract: Nipple reconstruction is a commonly performed component of breast reconstruction. A nipple reconstructed using local skin flaps requires protection from trauma. Here we describe a novel, effective, simple, rapid, inexpensive, and convenient method to protect a reconstructed nipple in the early postoperative period.
