reconstructive surgery

A traumatic injury can leave lasting scars, physically, mentally and emotionally. If you or anyone you know has experienced a traumatic injury, you will know the pain it causes and the need for immediate care that will minimize the effect of the injury.

Traumatic injury can be classified as Sharp and Blunt trauma.

A cut by a sharp object can lead to deep tears of the skin, fat and muscle layers. A blunt force may not cause a tear in the skin but can damage muscles, blood vessels, nerves and tendons. Both the types of injuries need immediate attention to heal quickly and correctly with minimum scarring so that you can return to normal life at the earliest.

Multidisciplinary Approach that offers complete recovery.

At the hospital the wound is first assessed and depending on the site of injury and the organs involved, a multidisciplinary team of surgeons is assembled to surgically correct the organs. A plastic surgeon with the ability and skill to perform reconstructive surgery handles the reconstruction to restore normalcy of site and function.

Reconstruction involves repair of nerves, blood vessels, muscles and tendons. When a considerable area of skin is damaged, skin grafts is performed to cover the area. Any injury or surgery leaves scars. Once recovery is complete secondary scar revisions can be performed to reduce the visibility of scars.

In addition to external injuries reconstructive surgery is provided to correct facial deformities, craniofacial deformities and other deformities.

Post surgery care, rehabilitation and medication help in complete recovery. Rest, a healthy diet and strict adherence to instructions hasten recovery.

Reconstructive surgery helps return your life to normal after it was turned upside down by an injury.
