Vascularized Tissue Transfers

Vascularized tissue transfers involve moving a piece of tissue, such as skin or muscle, from one part of the body to another while keeping its blood supply intact. This technique ensures that the transferred tissue can survive and heal properly in its new location. It’s commonly used in reconstructive surgery, for instance, to repair areas damaged by trauma, disease, or surgery. By preserving the blood vessels, doctors can enhance healing and function, making these transfers essential for effective tissue repair and restoration of bodily appearance or function.
