[Prefabrication of transplants in plastic surgery].

Complex three-dimensional defects with destruction of the external form, loss of functional stability and inner lining are associated with tactical and technical challenges in reconstructive plastic surgery. Causative factors are mutilating infections, resection of malignant tumors and trauma, predominantly located at the aerodigestive junction, the urogenital region and the extremities. Three-dimensional tissue constructions are preformed distant to the defect site allowing safe pedicled or microsurgical transfer into the defect.
