Today, plastic surgery can help any patient suffering from a wound of any etiology. The plastic surgeon can identify the pathology of the injured area, assess the condition of the skin and deep tissues, perform surgical debridement, collaborate with other specialties when necessary, or suggest other treatments if required.
At the same time, for extensive wounds, the surgeon can transfer skin from other areas of the body or utilize a variety of surgical flaps, cleverly designed from healthy adjacent body areas, to achieve proper and functional wound closure.
Once this is achieved, the plastic surgeon closely monitors the patient’s postoperative course to prevent any potential recurrence, while simultaneously providing instructions and supplementary treatment for optimal healing of the injured area, aiming for the best possible aesthetic outcome.
