Reconstructive Surgery is a medical specialty focused on restoring the form and function of body parts that have been affected by injury, disease, or congenital conditions. This type of surgery can involve repairing or rebuilding tissues, skin, and bones to improve appearance and functionality. Common procedures include breast reconstruction after mastectomy, cleft lip and palate repair, and reconstruction following traumatic injuries.
Surgeons performing reconstructive surgery often work closely with other specialists, such as plastic surgeons and orthopedic surgeons, to create a comprehensive treatment plan. The goal is not only to enhance physical appearance but also to improve the patient's quality of life and emotional well-being.
