Generation of adipose tissue based on tissue engineering: An overview

  • Chapter
Handbook of Burns

Abstract

Reconstruction of soft tissue is a very common scenario in plastic and reconstructive surgery. In 2008, 4.9 millions of patients had to undergo plastic reconstructive treatment in the USA, 3.8 of those in connection with tumor removal [1]. Apart from that, more than 12.8 millions of cosmetic surgeries were carried out including different forms of soft tissue augmentation with biologic and synthetic filling material and implants [1]. Shortcomings of the conventional plastic-surgical reconstruction of tissue defects i. e. transplanting autologous or allogenic tissue include donor site morbidity in autologous transplants and immunogenicity of allogenic transplants [27, 45, 46, 50]. In addition, the body’s own resources are limited so availability is restricted.
