Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery is a specialized branch of plastic surgery focused on restoring form, function, and appearance after trauma, congenital defects, cancer treatments, or other medical conditions. It plays a vital role in improving a patient’s quality of life by repairing abnormalities and restoring normalcy.
What is Reconstructive Surgery?
Reconstructive surgery involves medically necessary procedures that address deformities caused by birth defects, accidents, burns, infections, tumors, or diseases. Unlike cosmetic surgery, which enhances appearance for aesthetic reasons, reconstructive surgery aims to restore functionality and structure while also improving appearance.
Common Reconstructive Surgery Procedures
1. Trauma and Injury Reconstruction
Severe injuries from accidents, burns, or sports-related trauma may require reconstructive procedures to restore damaged tissues, bones, and nerves. Advanced techniques such as skin grafting, flap surgery, and microsurgery help in reconstructing injured areas effectively.
2. Cancer Reconstruction
After cancer treatments like mastectomy (breast removal), tumor excisions, or skin cancer surgeries, reconstructive surgery helps restore the affected area. Breast reconstruction, skin grafting, and tissue expansion are commonly performed procedures to help patients regain confidence.
3. Cleft and Craniofacial Surgery
Congenital conditions like cleft lip, cleft palate, and skull or facial deformities require specialized reconstructive procedures to improve speech, breathing, and facial symmetry. Early intervention helps children lead normal, healthy lives.
4. Burn Reconstruction
Patients suffering from severe burns often experience contractures, scars, and skin damage that limit movement and function. Reconstructive surgery, including skin grafting, tissue expansion, and scar revision, helps restore mobility and improve skin texture.
5. Hand Surgery
Hand injuries, birth defects, or degenerative conditions like arthritis can affect grip strength and mobility. Reconstructive procedures such as tendon repair, nerve reconstruction, and finger reattachment restore functionality and movement.
6. Microsurgery & Flap Surgery
Microsurgical techniques involve transferring tissue, skin, or bone from one part of the body to another. These procedures are essential for reconstructing complex wounds, cancer-affected areas, or missing body parts.
7. AV Fistula Creation for Dialysis Patients
For patients undergoing kidney dialysis, reconstructive surgeons perform arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation, which helps in efficient blood circulation during dialysis treatments.
