Abstract

and samples were collected. All the samples were evaluated by Haematoxylene-Eosine Stain. This is the first study the groin flap has been used as a xenotransplantation model and successfully preserved. Tissue evaluation indicated inflammation was prominent in the tissue, but these changes were reversible to some extent. We believe further studies are needed, in order to control and modify these changes. A method for composite tissue preservation and a basic model for further investigation has been developed in this study. Additional studies are needed in order to find diverse strategies to modulate the tissue changes.
