Reconstruction

The reconstructive surgery deals with the recovery of the body surface after tumor operations, accidents or congenital malformations.

Defects are very different because of their size, type and localization. To reply to this complex diversity varied surgical options are available. The ongoing medical development has made incredible progress in this area.

The spectrum for the restoration of form and function varies from simple skin graft to flap surgery (replacement of lost tissue by extraction at a nonessential site).

Frequent interventions (combined with a high standard of the aesthetic result) are:

• Removal of skin tumor especially in the facial area,
• Breast surgery,
• After burning treatment,
• Removal of soft tissue tumors, such as lipomas (fatty tumors) and
• Correction of scars
