Tissue Engineering in Plastic Surgery
Tissue engineering in plastic surgery focuses on developing biological substitutes to restore, maintain, or enhance tissue function and appearance. By combining cells, scaffolds, and bioactive molecules, surgeons can regenerate skin, cartilage, bone, and soft tissues. This innovative field supports complex reconstructive procedures, especially in cases involving trauma, burns, or congenital defects. It holds promise for reducing donor site morbidity and improving long-term surgical outcomes.
