Reconstructive surgery Medellin, Colombia

Restore function, quality of life, and body aesthetics.

Reconstructive surgery is a specialized field of plastic surgery aimed at repairing damaged tissues, correcting deformities, and restoring both form and function. It addresses a wide range of conditions, from injuries and congenital anomalies to complications resulting from medical procedures such as cancer treatments.

This type of surgery often combines advanced techniques to ensure better functionality and, when possible, aesthetic improvement. With a case-specific approach, reconstructive surgery not only restores physical deficiencies but also helps enhance the patient's quality of life.

Microsurgery

Microsurgery involves the use of advanced technology to repair or rebuild tissues at the microscopic level. It is particularly effective in complex cases that require precision, such as reattaching nerves, blood vessels, or injured tissue.

Migraine surgery

Migraine surgery is a specialized procedure designed to relieve chronic migraines by targeting and decompressing specific nerve triggers. The goal is to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines, improving the patient's quality of life. It involves the complete release of the extracranial portion of the nerve located at the trigger point, using techniques similar to those in facial cosmetic surgery. This includes resecting muscles and adhesions that may cause nerve entrapment, all without creating visible scars on the face.

Post-cancerous reconstruction

For women who have undergone a mastectomy or have experienced breast trauma, reconstruction helps restore their natural shape and appearance. Techniques include implant-based reconstruction or autologous tissue reconstruction, depending on the patient's preferences and needs.

Skin Cancer Surgery

When a biopsy is performed on a mole or non-healing facial wounds and the result is malignant, it is essential to remove the cancer as soon as possible. Mohs micrographic surgery is the most effective technique for treating the most common types of skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

Lymphedema treatment

Lymphedema treatment is performed using the most advanced micro-surgical techniques, which aim to establish alternative mechanisms for lymph drainage, either through the connection of superficial lymphatic vessels to venules in the circulatory system or with the vascularized transplant of lymph nodes to create a new network of vessels.

Surgery for lymphedema correction has a higher success rate in the early stages, as, with progression, the lymphatic vessels lose their transport capacity and, therefore, the potential for recovery after surgery diminishes.

Reconstructive surgery addresses a wide range of conditions and restores both the functionality and appearance of patients affected by trauma, congenital problems or medical treatment.

Traumatic injuries

Reconstructive surgery is vital for repairing damage caused by accidents, burns, or fractures. Procedures may include skin grafting, tissue reconstruction, or microsurgery to restore both form and function.

Post-cancerous reconstruction

For patients who are recovering from cancer treatments, such as mastectomy or removal of a tumor, reconstructive surgery helps rebuild affected areas. Breast reconstruction and facial restoration are common procedures that help patients regain confidence and a sense of normality.

Congenital Abnormalities

Conditions such as a cleft lip, cleft palate, or syndactyly (webbed palate on the fingers and toes) can be corrected with reconstructive surgery. These procedures improve both appearance and functionality, allowing patients to lead healthier lives.

Chronic wounds or pressure sores

Reconstructive surgery can treat long-standing wounds or pressure sores that haven't healed with conventional treatments. Techniques such as tissue grafting or flap surgery are used to promote healing and prevent future complications.

Functional deficiencies

Past surgeries, medical conditions, or injuries can sometimes cause functional limitations. Reconstructive procedures focus on restoring mobility, sensitivity, and overall function to affected areas.
