Surgeons at Samra Plastic Surgery NJ Perform Successful Free Tissue Transfer Surgery

Online, November 15, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Samra Plastic Surgery is proud to announce that lead surgeon Dr. Salem Samra and his team, Dr. Said Samra, Dr. Munjal Patel, and Dr. Asaad Samra successfully performed the first free tissue transfer operation in the history of Raritan Bay Medical Center recently. The surgery was to reconstruct a patient's breast after undergoing mastectomy.

Free tissue transfer is defined as the vascular detachment of an isolated and specific region of the body (eg, skin, fat, muscle, bone) followed by transfer of that tissue to another region of the body with reattachment of the divided artery and vein to separate artery and vein. This ability to transplant living tissue from one region of the body to another has greatly facilitated the reconstruction of complex defects.

Free tissue transfer has become commonplace in many centers around the world. The numerous advantages include stable wound coverage, improved aesthetic and functional outcomes, and minimal donor site morbidity. Since the introduction of free tissue transfer in the 1960s, the success rate has improved substantially and is currently 95-99% among experienced surgeons.
