Reconstruction / restorative surgery

Reconstructive surgery deals with the restoration of the body surface after tumour operations, accidents or congenital malformations.

Defects vary greatly due to their size, type and localisation. A wide range of surgical options are available to deal with this complex diversity. The ongoing development of medical technology has made incredible progress in this area in particular.

The spectrum for restoring form and function ranges from simple skin grafts to flap plasty (replacement of lost tissue by removal from a dispensable site)

Frequent procedures, combined with high demands on the aesthetic result, are:

• the Removal of skin tumours especially in the facial area,
• breast surgery,
• the post-combustion treatment,
• the Removal of soft tissue tumourse.g. lipomas (fatty tumours) 
• Scar corrections
