vascularized grafts

Vascularized grafts are tissue transplants that include their own blood vessels, allowing them to establish a direct blood supply in the new location. This approach helps the transplanted tissue survive and heal more effectively by maintaining its nourishment and waste removal systems. Such grafts are often used in complex reconstructive surgeries, like restoring damaged bones, muscles, or organs, especially when large or critical tissues are involved. By preserving or connecting blood vessels, vascularized grafts improve the chances of successful healing and integration compared to grafts without their own blood supply.
