Preclinical Animal Models in Facial Transplantation

Conclusions: A comprehensive review of animal models in FT shows redundancy spanning a variety of species, allograft compositions, and experimental designs. Although initial studies have focused on safety and technical feasibility, recent advances present specific opportunities for refining our understanding of functional and immunological challenges. As clinical experience continues to evolve, animal models may play an increasingly modest yet targeted role in FT.
