Flap Surgery

Flap surgery is a surgical procedure performed to repair tissue damage that may be caused due to multiple reasons. The surgery is done by transferring the healthy tissue from one part of the body to another. A flap is a tissue that is still attached to its blood supply. The surgeon moves the tissue to the area that may have lost skin, fat, muscle, bone and more during the procedure. Flap surgery can also be used for reconstruction, like breast reconstruction, or to correct a defect caused by an injury or surgery. Different types of flap surgeries depend on the flap's location and structure, along with the area that needs to be treated.

Modern flap techniques have contributed a lot to improving patients form and function, and recent advances in flap techniques have made these more robust and with better functionality, especially in the field of Breast and Head and Neck Cancer reconstruction. 3D printing technology has helped make Bone reconstruction like lower jaw for cancer very accurate and also reduced operating time.
