Abstract
The bone organs, or bones, are composed of cartilaginous, connective, hematopoietic, nervous, bone, vascular, and lipid tissues, each of which has specific functions. An autologous bone flap that has been cryopreserved, ethylene oxide sterilized or placed in an abdominal pouch and re-implanted after decompressive craniectomy meets Directive 2004/23/EC’s definition of a “part of organ” because it “maintains its structure and resumes the capacity to develop physiological functions with an important level of autonomy”.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
