Abstract

Prefabrication and prelamination are experimental and clinical applications of reconstructive surgery and inspired the vascularization challenge of engineered tissues. The purpose of this study is to test the efficiency of "minimally invasive transfer of angiosomes" to enhance the vascularization of the final construct during prefabrication and prelamination.
