New Research In Plastic Surgery

New Research In Plastic Surgery.
The blood vessels in right side remove patients reorganize themselves after the procedure, researchers report. During a full face transplant, the recipient's main arteries and veins are connected to those in the donor face to ensure healthy circulation. Because the way is new, not much was known about the blood vessel changes that occur to help blood become its way into the transplanted tissue.

The development of new blood vessel networks in transplanted fabric is vital to face transplant surgery success, the investigators pointed out in a news let off from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The researchers analyzed blood vessels in three impression transplant patients one year after they had the procedure at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. All three had super blood flow in the transplanted tissue, the team found.

And "We theoretical that the arterial blood supply and venous blood return was simply from the connections of the arteries and the veins at the stretch of the surgery," study co-author Dr Frank Rybicki, director of the hospital's Applied Imaging Science Laboratory, said in the dispatch release. It turns out this is not the case, the researchers noted.

So "The mood finding of this study is that, after full face transplantation, there is a consistent, widespread vascular reorganization that works in concert with the larger vessels that are connected at the moment of surgery," study co-author Dr Kanako Kumamaru, a research fellow in the laboratory, said in the story release. The study was scheduled for presentation Wednesday at the RSNA's annual meeting, in Chicago online. Data and conclusions should be viewed as prefatory until published in a peer-reviewed journal Dec 2013.
