Reconstructive Surgery

Restoring Function, Form & Quality of Life

Reconstructive plastic surgery aims to restore tissue form and function following trauma, cancer surgery, burns, congenital conditions and complex wounds. Depending on the problem, reconstruction may involve skin grafting, flap surgery, microsurgical reconstruction or other individualized techniques.

Head & Neck Reconstruction

Reconstruction after tumour removal or complex injury may involve restoration of soft tissue, skin, oral cavity and other structures of the head and neck.

  • Head & neck reconstruction
  • Scalp reconstruction
  • Oral cavity reconstruction
  • Glossectomy defect reconstruction
  • Complex soft-tissue reconstruction

Cancer & Oncoplastic Reconstruction

Reconstructive surgery following cancer treatment aims to restore the affected area while considering functional and aesthetic outcomes.

  • Onco-reconstructive surgery
  • Post-tumour-excision reconstruction
  • Oncoplastic reconstruction
  • Microvascular reconstruction
  • Breast reconstruction

Complex Wounds & Limb Reconstruction

Complex wounds may require specialized reconstruction to achieve durable coverage and support healing and function.

  • Diabetic foot spectrum
  • Lower-limb defects
  • Complex soft-tissue reconstruction
  • Skin grafting
  • Flap reconstruction

Chest Wall & Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

Reconstruction of chest and abdominal wall defects can restore structural integrity and soft-tissue coverage following trauma, tumour surgery or other conditions.

  • Chest wall defects
  • Complex chest wall reconstruction
  • Abdominal wall defects
  • Abdominal wall reconstruction
  • Component separation
  • Panniculectomy

Burns & Post-Burn Reconstruction

Burns can result in scarring, contractures and functional limitations. Reconstructive procedures can help release contractures, improve tissue coverage and restore movement and function.

  • Acute burns
  • Burn sequelae surgery
  • Post-burn contractures
  • Contracture reconstruction
  • Scar management

Cleft & Craniofacial Reconstruction

Cleft and craniofacial surgery may involve staged procedures addressing structural differences and functional concerns.

  • Cleft lip repair
  • Cleft palate repair
  • Palatal fistula repair
  • Cleft rhinoplasty
  • Velopharyngeal insufficiency correction
  • Alveolar bone grafting
  • Orthognathic surgery

Microsurgery & Replantation

Microsurgery uses specialized techniques to repair or reconstruct small blood vessels and other delicate structures. It can play an important role in complex reconstruction and limb salvage.

  • Microvascular procedures
  • Microsurgical procedures
  • Revascularisation
  • Vascular reconstruction
  • Replantation

Scar & Contracture Surgery

  • Scar management
  • Scar revisions
  • Post-burn contractures
  • Hand contracture reconstruction

A Comprehensive Reconstructive Approach

Reconstructive surgery is individualized according to the location, extent and nature of the defect, the patient’s overall condition and the functional goals of treatment. A consultation allows the problem to be assessed and appropriate reconstructive options to be discussed.
