Severe burns? Reconstructive microsurgery can change lives
Severe burns are a traumatizing experience, leaving you with deep wounds, both physical and emotional.
Beyond the immediate pain, victims face a long recovery period marked by complex surgery and psychological challenges. In this context, reconstructive microsurgery is proving to be a ray of hope, offering patients a chance at a normal life.
The Elytis Hospital, a dedicated team of specialists uses advanced reconstructive microsurgery techniques to restore not only physical appearance, but also functionality and self-confidence.
The devastating impact of severe burns
Severe burns profoundly affect all aspects of a person's life. In addition to intense physical pain, victims face:
- Visible and disfiguring scars: third-degree burns destroy all layers of the skin, leaving behind extensive and unsightly scars that can affect the mobility and functionality of the affected area.
- Functional problems: Burns can affect joint mobility, cause muscle contractures and limit the ability to perform simple daily activities.
- Psychological trauma: The emotional impact of severe burns is significant. Victims may experience depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and social adjustment difficulties.
Reconstructive microsurgery: an innovative solution at Elytis Hospital
Reconstructive microsurgery is a branch of plastic surgery that focuses onrepairing delicate structures of the body, such as blood vessels, nerves and tendons, using high-precision instruments and microscopic techniques. For victims of severe burns, reconstructive microsurgery can mean the difference between a life of suffering and a full recovery.
The Elytis Hospital, the reconstructive microsurgery team approaches each case with empathy and professionalism, offering customized solutions for each patient's needs. Reconstructive microsurgery procedures performed at Elytis Hospital include:
- Skin grafting: this procedure involves the transplantation of healthy skin from another part of the body to cover the burned area.
- Flaps: fla ps are portions of tissue containing skin, muscle, blood vessels and nerves, transferred from a donor area to the burned area. Microsurgery allows the blood vessels and nerves in the flap to be connected to those in the recipient area, ensuring seamless integration and optimal functionality.
- Soft tissue reconstruction: reconstructive microsurgery can be used to reconstruct soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons and ligaments, damaged by burns.
- Free tissue transfer: microsurgery allows the transfer of free tissue, including bone, muscle, skin and blood vessels, from a donor area to the burned area. This technique is used to reconstruct complex areas such as the face, hands or feet.
