Abstract:
Solid organ transplantation (SOT) is a surgical method used as the gold standard in end-term organ failure. Following SOT, successful results have also been achieved in vascularized composite tissue transplantation, which improves the quality of life with the success of solid organ transplants and the development of modern immunosuppressive regimens. This review discusses the preoperative, operative, postoperative, and immunological differences between vascularized tissue transplantation and SOT.
