Plastic Wound Closure at Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

What is plastic wound closure?

Plastic wound closure is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the normal structure of the skin and soft tissues after trauma, surgery, or diseases. This type of closure is used for more complex or large defects, where it is necessary to restore function and the aesthetic appearance of the affected area.

How does the consultation work?

Examination by the doctor — the doctor assesses the type and size of the defect, determines the depth of the injury, and the possibility of restoration.
Choosing the method of wound closure — depending on the size and location of the wound, methods like skin grafting, tissue expansion, or the use of special biomaterials or synthetic implants may be chosen.
Surgical planning — a detailed plan of the procedure, considering the patient's overall health.
Ordering tests — necessary examinations to evaluate the patient's health status before surgery.

Main indications for plastic wound closure:

Large or complex wounds that cannot heal on their own
Congenital or acquired skin defects
Injuries leading to significant skin defects (burns, postoperative wounds, trauma)
Burns of 2-3 degrees
Pressure ulcers that do not heal

How is the surgery performed?

During the surgery, the doctor selects the most effective method of wound closure:

Skin grafting — using skin from another part of the body to close the defect (autodermoplasty).
Tissue expansion — a method that allows increasing the amount of skin to close the defect.
Use of artificial or biological materials — in cases where the use of the patient's own skin is not possible.
