It is clear that autologous ribs are better than donor ribs, but
there are many opinions
among doctors that 'good donor ribs' are not much different from autologous ribs.
The problem is that these 'good donor ribs' are just too unstable.
There are many doctors who
claim that they do not use it because the quality is unpredictable.
I paid 200 won for a thick rib and used it
(the cost is about 150, so it is inevitable that they will make a profit) and
the director compared the materials before the surgery and used a sticky rib to make
a self-woven rib . I admit that I was anxious because I didn't see it with my own eyes
even though they told me that it wasn't much different from the original
. 1. Sliced ribs and recycled ribs are not recommended if possible.
If you get a quote for a donated rib, it starts from 50, but this
rib is sold in pieces. The problem is that it is of good quality. Even though it may seem a bit worse than cutting during surgery,
I don't think I can stop using it due to the cost.
(There is also a quality comparison video on YouTube of cutting actual pieces of rib.)
There is also a contamination problem with recycled ribs that share the leftover ribs, and the parts
are random, so I am anxious. If the usage is low, slices are reasonable
, but the randomness of the quality is unstable,
not that I dislike slices themselves. So, I recommend a place that only uses single ribs
(Director Min Oh also shows thick ribs on YouTube). If
I use all the ribs on myself, I will only use the best parts.
(Not the extra-large size used on the bridge of the nose, but a full-length ribbing around 2cm from the tip of the nose)
2. Should I only use the full-length ribbing for estimates under 150?
These days, the price of donated ribs has risen, so it seems to be around 150.
I don't think it will be cheaper than the original price, even if it is 80 percent higher than the original price. If you think it's too cheap,
be sure to ask about slice ribs or share.
(Even if you choose Slice Wolf because of the cost
, it's better to know and use it. It's a bit difficult to call it cheap or expensive without any criteria...)
Honestly, if you don't use it after receiving this money, it's a matter of the hospital's conscience...
3. It is a donor rib, but it may be horse cartilage, so check if it is a heterogeneous functional rib!
Even if they said it was a donated animal and not a person, there are no legal issues, so
check just in case.
4. There are various types of whole ribs, such as American or German, refrigerated or frozen, so please ask.
They say that refrigeration is better than freezing, and there are a variety of products available. Even though we
may not be able to choose, I feel proud when I say that the hospital uses good ingredients
. I think it would be important to emphasize that I know this.
Conclusion
The conclusion I have reached is that if you must use a rib and don't feel burdened, an autologous rib is
the best option, but if you find a good donor rib and have an experienced doctor
perform the procedure well, there is not much of a difference. The inflammatory contracture may not necessarily
be caused by donation, but may be due to quality or other causes...
The problem is that if I take away my ribs, I will use my ribs, but how
can I trust the quality of other people's ribs? Most doctors who say they do not use donor ribs are
questioning the stability of quality, not the donor rib itself.
Of course, even if you used slices and shares , it would be better if you
chose good quality and used it conscientiously,
as you would have had a reasonable surgery. However, I admit
that it is a tip that I wrote because I was literally anxious, and it is a costly method
. When recommending a donor rib at the hospital, you can avoid a lot if you just ask the above questions well
. This is the conclusion I came to after studying for 3 days and 2 nights. If you have any other tips,
please leave a comment!
