Abstract
Neovascularization is an essential process in natural wound healing, but the precise mechanism of neovascularization is not well understood. On the basis of this unknown consequence of wound healing, the vascular implantation technique can be selected to create customized neovascularized tissue for prefabrication. This concept has been advanced by combination with microsurgical technique to provide customized tissue that specifically meets the size, contour, and tissue type requirements of a given defect.
