AUTOLOGOUS TISSUE [1 record]

Record 1 2008-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
DEF

The living material, mainly skin and fat (sometimes some muscle), removed from the patient's own body to replace the tissue removed from another part of the patient's body.

CONT

Very often, implants will leak and require replacement; whereas, the autologous tissue will last the patient's entire life. The main disadvantages of autologous tissue breast reconstructions are the additional donor site scars (where the transplanted tissue was removed), the increased complexity and length of the surgery, longer recovery periods, etc.
