Specialty of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Specialism in advanced reconstruction and functional restoration

The Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery department at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital focuses on anatomical reconstruction and functional recovery following injuries, cancer treatment, serious infections or complex surgical complications. Its work combines rigorous planning, structured clinical judgement and extensive microsurgical expertise.

The department is organised into highly specialised units, enabling it to address tissue defects of varying complexity within a coordinated care framework. Each procedure forms part of a structured clinical process, featuring individualised assessment, evidence-based decision-making and protocol-based follow-up.

The approach combines technical precision, detailed anatomical analysis and continuity of care, ensuring therapeutic consistency from the initial assessment through to the functional recovery phase.

Objectives of advanced reconstructive surgery Advanced reconstructive surgery aims to protect deep structures, restore anatomical stability and promote long-term functional recovery. Planning is geared towards achieving a safe, stable outcome that is consistent with the patient’s clinical progress.

In what situations is advanced reconstruction indicated?

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery addresses situations in which anatomical integrity and function have been compromised. These circumstances may result from cancer surgery, extensive infections, tissue necrosis or congenital malformations.

Reconstruction in these contexts requires an expert assessment that takes into account not only tissue coverage, but also structural stability, vascular viability and the preservation or restoration of function. An accurate diagnosis and a detailed analysis of each case are crucial for determining the most appropriate reconstructive strategy.

Careful planning is part of the treatment.

How the reconstructive process is planned and carried out

The care process begins with an individualised clinical assessment, which analyses the extent of the defect, vascular status, comorbidities and the patient’s overall clinical context.

Reconstructive planning is based on prudent and technically sound criteria. The decision to proceed with surgery is made after evaluating alternatives and risks, always prioritising safety, long-term stability and functional recovery.

Post-operative follow-up is carried out in a structured manner, enabling progress to be monitored, potential complications to be detected and the functional integration of the result to be consolidated. Continuity of care is a central element of the speciality’s organisational model.

Highly specialised reconstructive procedures Certain clinical situations require advanced microsurgical techniques and precise anatomical planning. These procedures are carried out to high technical standards and with structured follow-up.

Clinical units specialising in advanced reconstruction

Clinical care is organised into specialist clinical units, which enable a tailored approach to the various types of reconstruction depending on the origin, extent and complexity of the tissue defect.

This structure facilitates greater specialisation within the team and more precise surgical planning for highly complex reconstructive procedures.

The speciality is organised into two main clinical units:

Advanced Breast Reconstruction and Lymphoedema Unit

Dedicated to anatomical and functional restoration following treatment for breast cancer and other oncological conditions, integrating reconstructive microsurgical techniques and specialised surgical treatment for lymphoedema.

Complex Reconstructive Surgery Unit

Focused on the treatment of extensive tissue defects requiring highly specialised reconstruction through precise anatomical planning and advanced microsurgical techniques.

Organising the service into units allows us to pool expertise and ensure efficient clinical coordination in highly complex cases.

Multidisciplinary coordination and support throughout the reconstructive process

The department comprises surgeons with extensive experience in advanced reconstruction, microsurgery and supermicrosurgery, who work as part of a team-based approach.

The clinical approach combines technical rigour, structured organisation and clear communication. Each case is analysed, with sufficient clinical time allocated to explain options, assess risks and address any concerns, thereby facilitating informed and supported decision-making. Continuity of care and sustained functional recovery are fundamental pillars of reconstructive practice.

Specialist assessment in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Consulting with a specialist allows for the diagnosis to be reviewed, the need for reconstructive surgery to be confirmed and, where appropriate, the procedure to be organised within a specialist surgical setting, with structured planning and continuity of care throughout all stages.
