Tissue Transplantation

Tissue transplantation is used when there is a deficiency in any tissue.

Transplant procedures are performed by plastic surgeons. These are surgeries performed by transplanting skin from one part of the body to another area where skin is missing. It is a very useful method in closing open wounds. The areas where transplantation is performed are open wounds caused by accidents, burns, and tumor removal.

Tissue transplantation procedures can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. The type of anesthesia is determined by the patient’s age, chronic illness, and the width of the area to be transplanted.

Tissue transplants result in high success rates. In the postoperative period, the patient should not neglect the necessary checks and should closely follow the healing process of the tissue.
