Gewebetransplantaten
Gewebetransplantaten, often referred to as tissue grafts, are biological materials transplanted from one site to another on the same individual or from a donor to a recipient. These transplants are crucial in reconstructive surgery and regenerative medicine, aiming to restore function and form to damaged or diseased tissues. The sources of gewebetransplantaten can be autologous, meaning from the patient's own body, allogeneic, from a genetically different individual of the same species, or xenogeneic, from a different species. Autologous grafts are generally preferred due to the absence of rejection issues.
Common types of gewebetransplantaten include skin grafts for burns and wounds, bone grafts for skeletal reconstruction,
Post-transplantation care is vital to ensure graft survival and integration. This typically involves immobilizing the grafted
