Today, plastic surgery collaborates with all surgical specialties for the optimal closure of surgical wounds. Many patients choose a plastic surgeon for the suturing of a surgical wound after a procedure performed by another specialty.
A plastic surgeon can complete the final stage of incision closure after general surgery in the abdominal area, neck, or chest; orthopedic procedures on all limbs; gynecological procedures in the lower abdomen; cardiac and thoracic surgeries in the sternum and chest area; and urological procedures in the genital and lateral abdominal areas.
It is possible for the plastic surgeon to plan the incision in advance, in collaboration with any surgeon of another specialty, so that it can be placed in less visible areas where possible, without affecting the final outcome of the procedure.
