Stress strain graph calculated based on cantilever model approximation of the mechanical behavior of the lower lateral crura. The elastic modulus is calculated as follows: E=4FL3/ybh3, where F indicates the reaction force; L, the distance from the fulcrum, where the probe displaces the tissue; y, displacement; b, the width of the tissue; and h, the tissue thickness.
