Mucosa and Rejection in Facial Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation: A Systematic Review

Conclusions. The mucosa of facial allotransplants is one of the primary targets of rejection. The data indicates that higher-grade skin rejection does not occur in absence of mucosal rejection. Further investigations are needed to elucidate the exact role of mucosal biopsies for fVCA patient management.
