Plastic Surgery For Reconstruction
Reconstruction of the pelvis is predominantly done when a major resection of a tumour is done in the area. This area contains outlets for the urogenital system and the gastrointestinal tract. The plastic surgeon’s role is to replace the lost tissue and keep the contents of the pelvis in the correct position. This is particularly important as poor support can lead to the formation of hernias.
Dr Khoo is specifically trained to use a variety of skin grafts, local flaps and distant flaps to reconstruct the structures of the pelvis. The reconstructions are sometimes reinforced with surgical meshes to support the contents of the pelvis.
With modern techniques and experience, Dr Andrew Khoo can help you achieve your desired look safely and naturally.
