Trauma Reconstruction
Plastic and reconstructive surgery plays a major role in the trauma services, especially in the reconstruction of head and neck, limbs, trunk and perineum when there is tissue loss, with a multidisciplinary approach.
Plastic surgeon Dr Ranganath heads our trauma management team.Trauma Centres planned without a Plastic Surgern have inferior results.
The spectrum of plastic surgery trauma management ranges from primary closure to reconstruction, or replacement of complex physical defects of form and function involving the skin, musculoskeletal system, cranio-maxillofacial structures, extremities, breast, trunk and external genitalia.
Trauma to the body with loss of form and function requiring plastic surgical intervention can be caused by road traffic accidents (RTAs), firearm injuries (FAI), machine injuries (MI), glass injuries (GI), crush injuries (CI), knife injuries (KI), assault injuries (AI), iatrogenic trauma (IT), human bites (HB), dog bites (DB), other animal bites (OAB), fall injuries (FI), sports injuries (SI), high pressure injection injuries (HPII), bomb blast injuries (BBI), ring avulsion injuries (RAI) and some other causes.

Neck tramas are the complex injuries ranging from simple skin laceration to complex neurovascular and tracheal injuries.
Plastic surgeon Dr ranganath vs is well trained to handle these complex injuries and had saved many lives and deformities performing complex emergency surgeries.

Complex fractures and tissue defects following open fractures are handled by the trauma team. We perfrom regular orthopedic surgeries, vascular repairs on emergency basis.
We treat all complex wounds occurred due to injuries and perform skin grafting or flap cover for early wound healing with better cosmetic and functional outcome.
Microvascular surgery is done on emergency basis in the hospital.
