Thomas Dent Mutter (1811-1859) was one of the early American pioneers of plastic surgery. He studied under some of the great teachers in Europe during the early 19th century and returned to the United States as a professor of surgery at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He was renowned for his operations on clubfoot, cleft lip and palate, congenital anomalies, and mutilating injuries. He is best known for the cervical flap that bears his name. His contributions include an endowment for a medical museum that bears his name to which he donated a large collection of his medical specimens. The Mutter Museum prospers to this day. His ideas and innovations have influenced many students of plastic surgery both during his lifetime and today.
托马斯·登特·马特（1811 - 1859）是美国早期整形外科的先驱之一。19世纪初，他曾师从欧洲一些伟大的教师，回国后成为费城托马斯·杰斐逊大学的外科学教授。他因治疗马蹄内翻足、唇腭裂、先天性畸形和毁损伤的手术而闻名。他最为人知的是一种以他名字命名的颈部皮瓣。他的贡献包括为一座以他名字命名的医学博物馆提供资金，他向该博物馆捐赠了大量自己的医学标本。马特博物馆至今仍很繁荣。他的思想和创新在他生前及如今都影响了许多整形外科学生。
