What is "anaplasty"?
Anaplasty is a surgical procedure that tries to restore or reconstruct a missing or damaged part of the body, often using techniques such as grafting, transplantation, or prosthetics. It is commonly performed to improve function or appearance following injury, disease, or abnormalities one is born with. For example, anaplasty might involve rebuilding a facial feature after an accident or creating a prosthetic limb for someone who has lost an arm or leg.
Examples
