Dossiers about Reconstruction
- Skin sutures in children
An experienced general practitioner may suture some skin wounds of children; others must be referred to the surgeon to ensure the best possible healing. - Burns in children
Figures are overwhelming: domestic accidents account for 70% of burns in children. Prevention is possible, however, and even more necessary when considering household accidents and the social, educational, professional and medical consequences associated with the severe burns.
Reconstructive surgery to the face
- Neck cysts and fistulas
The aim of the operation is to remove the cyst and the whole path when a fistula exists. Abstentions with monitoring can be proposed on a temporary basis but it is always preferable to perform the excision before infection develops. The risk of infection disappears after surgery provided there is no recurrence the risk of infection disappears after surgery. - Rhinoplasty
The intervention aims to reshape the nose to embellish it. This is specifically to correct the any imperfections that are present, whether congenital, post-traumatic, or due to the aging process.
Reconstructive surgery to the breast
- Lipostructure of postmastectomy reconstructed breasts
This technique is actually a transplant of fat: it means that the fat should be revascularized by the recipient environment. The reinjections take place over the pectoralis muscle and under the skin for prosthetic reconstructions, or in all plans for reconstruction with autologous tissue. - Breast reconstruction with latissimus dorsi
The surgery aims to restore the volume and contour of the breast with an area of skin and muscle taken from the back. An internal prosthetic reconstruction must often be added whenever the volume transferred is insufficient. - Breast reconstruction with rectus abdomini
This surgery aims to restore volume and contour of the breast by the transfer to the chest of excess skin and fat from the abdomen below the navel. The technique gives a relatively reconstructed breast natural shape and flexibility because it is made of the patient's own tissues. - Breast reconstruction with prosthesis
This surgery aims to restore the volume and contour of the breast by the placement of an internal prosthesis below the pectoral muscle. - Nipple-areola reconstruction
The surgery aims to reconstruct a coloured areola and a nipple as a central prominence.
Reconstructive surgery to the body
- Skin surgery or scar correction
The term Skin surgery or Dermosurgery is used for surgical procedures that concern the skin. These concerned all cutaneous (skin) lesions (abnormalities) for which surgical removal is preferred, as well as abnormal or unsightly scars that require surgical treatment. - Dupuytren's disease
In some people, fascia becomes large, forms balls called nodules and extensions that retract the fingers from the palm of your hand and form true cords that gradually bend the fingers back. - Synovial cysts
A cyst is a pocket like a balloon filled with a viscous liquid called synovial fluid. It manifests as a lump that grows on the back of the wrist, most often in front of the wrist and also at the base of the fingers. It can be painful on compression or during certain movements. - Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the result of compression of the median nerve by the flexor retinaculum or more rarely by a compressive synovitis or tumor (lipoma, angioma, etc ...).
