Historical aspects and prospects for the development of autologous adipose tissue transplantation

Introduction. At the beginning of the XXI century and, especially, in the last decade, interest in lipofilling has increased enormously, the scope of application of this method has expanded. The aim of the study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature with a view to summarizing information concerning the effectiveness of the use of lipofilling.Results. The literature sources of foreign and domestic authors devoted to the generalization of the world experience of sampling and introduction of autologous adipose tissue are analyzed. Despite the sufficient experience of using this technique, there is a sufficient number of unsolved problems. The solution of these problems is possible when defining a standardized protocol for planning lipofilling, optimizing the technique of processing and administration of fat autograft.Conclusion. The analysis of the literature data demonstrated that this area of surgery is effective and in demand and requires further research and development of new modern advanced surgical methods of treatment.
