Repair of Extensive Tissue Defects After Trauma or Diseases (Reconstructive Microsurgery)

One of the main areas of interest in plastic surgery is 'defect repair'. All kinds of accidents, injuries, diseases etc. It is one of the most basic jobs of a plastic surgeon to close the wounds in any part of the body after surgery in functional, anatomical and aesthetic integrity.

 

 

 

In addition to medical and surgical treatment of bedsores caused by long-term lying in the same position (especially paraplegic patients who do not feel below the waist) or inactivity, repair of all kinds of wounds after firearm injuries, traffic accidents, burns or diseases (diabetic foot, venous insufficiency, etc.). It is one of the most common causes of surgery.

 

 

 

In some of these operations, the repair method we call 'free tissue transfer (free flap)' may need to be preferred. These surgeries are based on the principle of adapting the placed tissue to each other by performing microsurgery under the microscope for long hours, very carefully and carefully. It is one of the operations of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery that requires experience and a team.
