How the Procedure is Performed
Healthy tissue along with its blood vessels is harvested from a donor site such as the forearm, thigh, or leg. The tissue is then transplanted to the affected area, and microsurgical techniques are used to connect arteries and veins under high magnification.
This restores blood circulation to the transferred tissue, allowing it to survive and integrate with surrounding structures.
