Reconstructive surgery aims to restore function and appearance to areas of the body affected by trauma, congenital anomalies, cancer surgery, or other medical conditions. Our specialized MCh (Plastic Surgery) team is highly skilled in advanced surgical techniques to improve both aesthetics and functionality while ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.

Conditions Treated

Reconstructive surgery can address a wide range of conditions, including:

Post-Trauma Reconstruction: Repair of injuries from accidents, burns, or fractures.
Cancer Reconstruction: Restoration after tumor removal, including breast, head, and neck reconstruction.
Congenital Anomalies: Correction of birth defects such as cleft lip and palate, craniofacial deformities, and hand abnormalities.
Burn Reconstruction: Treatment for severe burns, including skin grafts and flap procedures.
Scar Revision Surgery: Improvement of appearance and mobility in areas affected by severe scarring.
Hand and Microsurgery: Procedures to restore function in cases of nerve injuries, tendon damage, or congenital hand defects.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Before proceeding with reconstructive surgery, patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including:

Medical History & Physical Examination: Understanding the underlying condition and patient needs.
Imaging Studies: X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to assess bone and soft tissue structures.
3D Planning & Simulation: Advanced technology to visualize and plan the surgical outcome.
Multidisciplinary Consultation: Collaboration with specialists such as oncologists, orthopedists, and dermatologists for integrated treatment planning.

Treatment Options

We offer a range of reconstructive surgical procedures tailored to each patient’s specific condition:
