Soft Tissue Defect Closure at Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

What is soft tissue defect closure?

Soft tissue defect closure is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the normal structure of the skin and subcutaneous tissues after trauma, surgery, or diseases. This may involve skin grafting, using local tissues to close the defect, or applying synthetic materials or biomaterials to cover the defect.

How does the consultation work?

Examination by the doctor — determining the size and depth of the tissue defect.
Discussion of possible restoration methods — choosing the methods to close the defect (skin grafting, tissue expansion, use of artificial materials).
Surgical planning — preparation for the procedure, considering the overall health of the patient.
Ordering tests — necessary examinations to assess the condition of the body before surgery.

Main indications for soft tissue defect closure:

Wounds that do not heal after trauma or surgery
Pressure ulcers
Burns or frostbite
Congenital or acquired skin defects
Injuries leading to the loss of large areas of skin

How is the surgery performed?

During the surgery, the surgeon determines the most effective way to close the defect.
Skin grafting from another part of the body (autodermoplasty) or local tissue use (laparoplasty) may be used.
In some cases, synthetic or biological materials are used to cover the defect, providing a good result and fast healing.
