Skin reconstruction procedures involve repairing or replacing damaged or lost skin tissue. There are several types of skin reconstruction procedures, depending on the extent and location of the injury, as well as the patient's individual needs. Some common skin reconstruction procedures include: Skin grafting, flap reconstruction, or use of a skin substitute. Overall, skin reconstruction procedures aim to restore the structure, function, and appearance of damaged or lost skin tissue, and can greatly improve the quality of life for patients with skin injuries or conditions.
Skin Graft
A skin graft is a surgical procedure in which a piece of skin is taken from one area of the body, called the donor site, and transplanted to another area, called the recipient site. The procedure is commonly used to treat burns, injuries, and certain skin conditions, and can help promote healing and reduce scarring.
MOHS
MOHS surgery is a specialized technique used to remove skin cancers with a high cure rate and maximum preservation of healthy tissue. During the procedure, thin layers of skin are removed and examined under a microscope until all cancerous cells have been removed. The surgery is typically done under local anesthesia and has a high success rate.
