Preparing Standardized Pouches In Experimental Studies Using The Button Technique

Abstract

In experimental studies undertaken especially in the field of plastic surgery, the preparation of standard subcutaneous or intramuscular pouches in animal models are quite frequent. When performing an experimental study, standardization is one of the key factors that make a scientific study valuable and worthy (1-2). In our clinic, we use the button technique when preparing standardized subcutaneous pouches in animal studies. Our technique is presented.
