This scientific article aims to analyze the application of biodegradable tissues in Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, highlighting their relevance in the face of environmental challenges and the need for more sustainable practices in the medical field. Addressing the physical, chemical, and biological properties of these innovative materials, the study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of their viability in surgical procedures. By exploring relevant studies and experiments, aspects such as biocompatibility, degradation rate, and the ability to withstand mechanical demands are examined. The comparison with conventional options underscores potential benefits and challenges associated with the adoption of biodegradable tissues, offering valuable insights for plastic surgeons and healthcare professionals. The research delves into the clinical response and acceptance by patients regarding biodegradable tissues, essential aspects for the successful implementation of these innovative materials in surgical practice. Understanding patients' perceptions of aesthetic results, recovery times, and potential side effects significantly contributes to the holistic assessment of the effectiveness of these tissues in Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. Furthermore, the safety of biodegradable tissues is addressed, considering not only biological aspects but also the environmental impacts resulting from their degradation. The analysis of generated residues and the potential impact on the ecosystem are crucial points for evaluating the sustainability of these materials over time. The article proposes a comprehensive approach that goes beyond clinical efficacy, aiming to establish parameters for a conscious and ethical adoption of these advancements in reconstructive surgical practice. This integrated perspective, considering both patient well-being and environmental responsibility, reinforces the significance of this study for the evolution of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery.
