Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from an existing vascular bed, is a normal physiological process which also underpins many - apparently unrelated - pathological states. It is an integral factor in determining the success or failure of many procedures in plastic and reconstructive surgery. As a result, the ability to control the process would be of great therapeutic benefit. To appreciate the potential benefits and limitations of recent advances in our understanding of angiogenesis, it is important to comprehend the basic physiology of blood vessel formation. This review aims to summarise current knowledge of the way in which angiogenesis is controlled and to took at how disordered vessel development results in pathology relevant to plastic surgery. Through this we hope to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in angiogenesis as they relate to plastic surgery, particularly the promotion of flap survival, tendon heating, nerve regeneration, fracture heating and ulcer treatments.
