How is the Reconstructive Surgery Performed ?

Treatment Procedure

Reconstructive surgery comprises different surgeries which aim to restore the skin's appearance for a particular region. The medical team, comprising surgeons, decides the specific details of the surgery depending on the patient's overall health, condition, preference, and diagnostic reports. Here is a detailed description of how doctors for reconstructive surgery in Varanasi carry out the entire surgical process:

  • The doctors will conduct comprehensive patient health evaluation through physical examination and diagnostic imaging (CT scans, MRI, or X-rays).

  • The doctor will formulate a comprehensive plan with our multi-disciplinary approach, anesthesiologists, radiologists, and other specialists.

  • Depending on the process's complexity and the patient's condition, the medical team will administer local or regional anaesthesia.

  • Usually, the medical team uses minimally invasive tools, like endoscopy and laparoscopy; however, scalpel blades or electrocautery devices are sometimes used to make incisions and access the affected area.

  • Depending upon the nature of the surgery, the medical team will employ the following techniques: Tissue Flap Transfer, Implant Placement, Skin Grafts, Bone Grafts, and Vascular Surgery.

  • After the reconstructive surgery, the doctors will close the incision with sutures, staples, or tissue adhesive, ensuring proper alignment and tension for optimal healing.

  • Patients are closely monitored in the recovery area and may be placed in an intensive care unit (ICU) or specialized unit, depending on the complexity of the surgery.

Procedure

At Heritage Hospital, our plastic or reconstructive surgeons perform all aspects of reconstructive surgeries to assist the patient in living a better quality of life. It is essential to under that reconstructive surgery is different from cosmetic surgery as the prior deals with restoring the normal appearance of the skin damaged due to injury, disease, or medical conditions. Here are some key aspects of reconstructive surgery in Varanasi:

  • Trauma Reconstruction Reconstruction surgery is required after traumatic injuries, such as severe burns, facial fractures, or limb amputations. Surgeons work to repair damaged tissues, improve aesthetics, and restore lost functionality through skin grafts, tissue flaps, or microsurgery techniques to reconnect blood vessels and nerves.

  • Breast Reconstruction Breast Reconstruction is required for individuals who have undergone mastectomy due to breast cancer or other medical reasons to restore the breast shape and appearance. The doctors for reconstructive surgery in Varanasi utilize implants, autologous tissue transfer (flap surgery), or a combination of techniques for breast reconstruction.

  • Craniofacial Reconstruction Patients with congenital craniofacial deformities (e.g., cleft lip and palate) or those who have suffered facial trauma may require craniofacial reconstructive surgery. The doctors will plan a comprehensive treatment plan to correct structural abnormalities and improve facial aesthetics and function.

  • Hand Surgery Reconstructive surgery is recommended for patients whose hands have suffered injuries, congenital hand deformities, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. The surgeons aim to restore hand function, dexterity, and appearance.

  • Skin Cancer Reconstruction As a leading hospital for cancer, our oncologists collaborate with reconstructive surgeons to plan a comprehensive treatment where, after removing the skin cancer lesions, the surgeons utilize skin grafts or tissue rearrangement to close wounds and minimize scarring.

  • Lower Extremity Reconstruction Individuals with leg injuries or congenital deformities may require lower extremity reconstruction to improve mobility and restore the natural appearance of the legs through surgical procedures, like tissue transfer, muscle flaps, or bone grafts.

  • Abdominal Wall Reconstruction Patients who have experienced significant trauma or undergone extensive surgeries, such as those for hernias or cancer, may require abdominal wall reconstruction to restore abdominal strength and integrity.
