Reconstructive surgery
PLASTIC-RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY – THE HIGH ART OF RECONSTRUCTION
Plastic reconstructive surgery is mainly concerned with restoring the body. The skills of reconstructive surgeons are required, for example, following an accident, tumour removal or unsuccessful cosmetic surgery. However, reconstructive surgery is also often the first port of call to counteract permanent pain in cases of phantom pain after an amputation or wounds and bone defects that refuse to heal.
At the ETHIANUM Heidelberg, our specialist departments work hand in hand for your health and well-being. Depending on the findings or individual wishes of the client, we offer you the highest level of expertise in all areas. Our reconstructive surgeons are specially trained so that we can also offer you reconstructive microsurgery procedures.
