Tissue taken from one part of a person's body and grafted onto another part of the same body.
From Greek 'auto-' (self) and 'plastos' (formed, molded). Medical term combining ancient Greek roots for 'self-forming,' used in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Autoplasts are nature's perfect match—surgeons take your own skin or bone and move it elsewhere, and your body accepts it because it recognizes itself. No rejection problems like you'd get from donor transplants!
