Tissue Defects

Tissue Defects

Procedure Description

Tissue defects can arise from trauma, tumor excision, or congenital anomalies. They are treated with a variety of procedures, such as autologous therapies and the use of tissues (flaps) from the patient's own body, for a more natural result and better integration.

Benefits

  • Coverage of defects (traumatic, oncological)
  • Restoration of function and form
  • Use of autologous tissues (better biocompatibility)
  • Natural aesthetic result
  • Personalized reconstruction plan

Recovery Time

Depends on the extent and method (microsurgical or not). Analgesics are administered for pain.

Procedure Steps

  • Thorough examination of the defect
  • Surgical planning (flaps / grafts)
  • Surgical reconstruction
  • Postoperative care and monitoring

Complications

  • Infection
  • Bleeding / Hematoma
  • Flap necrosis (rare)
  • Scarring at the donor site
