Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Facial Reconstruction
The basic concept of Facial reconstruction is to reconstruct a defect in all the three dimensions and all the tissues. If bone is missing bone is transferred along with skin fat muscle etc. The total material required for reconstruction is taken from the body of the same person, Most commonly from the forearm or from the legs or trunk and then it is transferred to the face, to make it survive and function the blood supply has to be restarted and this requires the skills of microvascular surgery.
Hand Injuries
Hand is the biggest gift to mankind, Life is possible without eyes but not without hands. Hand is the most commonly involved body part in accidents both at home & at place of work. Reconstruction of the hand defects and injuries to hand has to be of superlative degree and is best performed by Plastic surgeons trained in Hand surgery and microsurgery. Hand is often injured at home or at place of work. Even a simple looking cut over the hand may have damaged important structures in the depth. This is because of the complex nature of hand anatomy therefore a proper examination & repair of all the divided structures is very important for good recovery of hand function.
Chemical Assaults
Acid assault burns are a particularly vicious form of attack where the motive is not to kill but to cause permanent disfigurement. The priority of the acute care is to limit the damage while the priority of the reconstructive care is to restore as much as possible the patient to optimum form and function. Post-burn reconstruction is provided based on functional and aesthetic demands. Priority is always given to eye closure, oral continence and neck and limb movement. Surgery is also offered for resurfacing, hair transplantation and aesthetic nasal reconstruction.
