Definitions
A mass of tissue that has been cut away from its surrounding areas for AUTOLOGOUS TRANSPLANTATION, except for its attachment via a strip of tissue containing the blood supply. Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end. They retain their own microvasculature which is also transferred to the new site. They are often used in plastic surgery for filling a defect in a neighboring region. A mass of tissue that has been cut away from its surrounding areas for AUTOLOGOUS TRANSPLANTATION, but it remains attached to its original location via blood vessels only.
