When to contact the reconstructive surgery department?
In Clinic + 31, the Department of Reconstructive Surgery is engaged in the restoration or correction of limbs, parts of the body and other organs. In most cases, the use of reconstructive surgery methods occurs with the following indications:
- Post-traumatic and postoperative disorders of the function and form of various parts of the body and limbs (hands, feet, chest, ears, nose, breast, etc.)
- Birth defects of any localization (absence or underdevelopment)
- Correction of unsatisfactory results after plastic surgery.
During operations, specialists at the Clinic + 31 Reconstructive Surgery use autografts - materials received from the patient himself. This minimizes the possibility of rejection of the transplanted tissue. The latest equipment and modern methods of conducting operations at Clinic + 31 make it possible to take not only a skin graft for transplantation and reconstruction, but also complex transplants consisting of several tissues - skin, muscles, bones.
The choice of an autograft is the surgeon's art, which will determine the successful outcome of the operation. The correct selection is carried out individually only during consultation. Not only the initial state of the existing defect and the possibility of donor zones are taken into account, but also the patient's requirements for the future appearance of the donor areas and the transplant area.
Assessment of the results of reconstructive surgery
Evaluation of the results of reconstructive operations is carried out in stages. First, graft engraftment is assessed. It should be borne in mind that even a very experienced surgeon has a failure rate of 1-5%. At subsequent stages, the gradual restoration of the functions of a particular zone is evaluated. Of course, restoration or correction of an organ is a complex and lengthy process. Correct setting of goals in accordance with the patient’s wishes, effective methods of operations and a modern approach to treatment allow Clinic + 31 surgeons to achieve excellent results.
