ZAGREB, June 28 (Hina) - A complex reconstructive operation of the
lower lip and its mucous membrane, the first of its kind in Croatia,
was performed at Zagreb's Clinical Centre on Friday. #L#
The microsurgical operation was performed by Dr. Milomir Ninkovic,
Europe's leading plastic surgeon from Innsbruck's University
Hospital Clinic for Plastic Surgery.
He reconstructed the lower lip of a Croatian war veteran with a
piece of muscle from his upper leg, while the mucous membrane was
replaced with a piece of the mucous membrane of a facial artery.
Dr. Ninkovic is the most frequently cited surgeon in world medical
literature and guest lecturer at several clinics in Europe and the
United States.
