Best Answer

A pedical was a flap of skin used during early plastic surgery connecting a part of the body to the nose. Created by Harold Gillies the pedical would stay in place until the skin had moulded to the nose and could be shaped. The invention of the pedical was unsuccessful due to the fact that the skin would become infected. However Gillies edited his creation into the successful tube-pedical.
