A large portion of the plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures
performed each
year is aimed at repairing soft tissue defects, which result for example
from traumatic
injury or tumor resections. Large soft tissue defects, lead to a change
in function
and ‘normal’ body contour, which in its turn can lead to disability and
emotional stress. Currently used methods to repair soft tissue defects
include the use of autologous
adipose tissue transplants and synthetic implants. Both procedures have
their own
advantages and drawbacks.http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/22186/110107_Verseijden%2C%20Femke%20-%20Bewerkt.pdf
