Rekonstruktive Chirurgie
RECONSTRUCTIVE MICROSURGERY AT THE ETHIANUM – MASTERLY PRECISION WORK
Microsurgery is a specialised pillar of reconstructive surgery. Mastery of this delicate technique is by no means a matter of course, even for surgeons. The application of reconstructive microsurgery requires special training on the part of the surgeon and demands the highest precision and enormous sensitivity.
For example, the reconstructive microsurgery surgeon works with a thread that is thinner than a hair. A needle with a diameter of just a fifteenth of a millimetre. Together, these tools and the surgeon’s expertise produce masterful precision work, particularly in the field of tumour operations or complicated accident operations.
As an interdisciplinary discipline, reconstructive microsurgery at the ETHIANUM is used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, aesthetic surgery and hand surgery as follows:
- Transplantation of the body’s own tissue for defects caused by accidents or operations
- Nerve and muscle transplantation for facial paralysis, e.g. following a stroke, accident or tumour removal
- Treatment of lymphoedema
- Reconstruction of the female breast by transferring the body’s own tissue after cancer surgery
- Bone transplantation, for example after removal of a tumour
- Treatment of femoral head necrosis through vascularised bone transfer
- Correction of complications following aesthetic surgery
The interplay between reconstructive surgery and aesthetic surgery creates optimal conditions for results that are literally worth seeing.
