How to Become a Tram Surgeon

Tram surgery is the latest surgical procedure developed to repair the damage done from mastectomies for breast cancer. Its advantage is that it uses a patient's own natural tissue, taken from the area of the abdomen. The blood supply for the tissue is actually brought to the area of the breast, tunneled up from its original site. This is extensive surgery, performed only by skilled and talented surgeons.
