Die ersten erfolgreichen Versuche zur Züchtung tierischer Zellen außerhalb des Organismus reichen zurück in den Beginn unseres Jahrhunderts. 1907 gelang HARRI SON durch Explantation von Gewebsstücken aus Froschembryonen der Nachweis, daß in der Embryonalentwicklung die Neuriten als Fortsätze der Nervenzelle ohne Be teiligung anderer Zellen gebildet werden, und daß damit eine spezifische celluläre Funktion auch außerhalb des Gesamtorganismus zu beobachten ist [310,311].

Older patients also can be candidates, depending on their state of health and motivation. It is difficult to define universal criteria in patient selection for breast reconstruction, because patients, surgeons, and situations vary widely. In general, however, extreme obesity is a relative contraindication,15,16 as are other major health problems. The general surgeon needs to use his or her judgment and encourage patients who would benefit the most from immediate breast reconstruction to consult the plastic surgeon and consider it.

Immediate breast reconstruction: why the free TRAM over the conventional TRAM flap?
Movement of the operative field under the microscope with respiration can affect the surgeon’s view of the anastomoses, but that is a relatively minor problem. If it is bothersome, the anesthesiologist can stop ventilating the patient for a few seconds while a suture is placed. One drawback to use of the internal mammary vessels is that if they are damaged during their dissection the surgeon may lose the option of performing an ipsilateral conventional TRAM flap as an alternative. This is not a significant problem in cases of unilateral breast reconstruction, but can be important when the reconstruction must be bilateral.
