Complex Reconstructive Surgery Unit

Specialists in advanced tissue reconstruction

The Complex Reconstructive Surgery Unit at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital is dedicated to the surgical treatment of extensive tissue defects requiring a highly specialised reconstructive approach.

Its work focuses on restoring anatomical and functional integrity in clinical situations that demand precise planning, sound technical judgement and proven microsurgical expertise.

The Unit primarily treats adult patients with significant soft-tissue loss resulting from cancer surgery, severe infections, tissue necrosis or previous procedures with unsatisfactory functional outcomes.

Each case is assessed on an individual basis, taking into account the extent of the defect, vascular status, associated comorbidities and compromised function.

The aim is to protect deep structures, re-establish stable coverage and promote lasting functional recovery, always in accordance with strict criteria for surgical safety.

Individualised assessment of the tissue defect The reconstructive strategy is determined following a detailed analysis of the extent of the defect, vascular viability and the patient’s general condition. The planning prioritises surgical safety and the preservation of function.

Personalised reconstructive planning

The approach is based on a strategic selection of reconstructive techniques, including local and regional flaps, as well as microsurgical tissue transfer procedures where anatomical complexity so requires.

The choice of each technique is based on a detailed analysis of the location of the defect, the quality of the surrounding tissues and the need to preserve or restore function.

The team’s expertise in advanced reconstructive surgery enables them to tackle particularly challenging situations with technical rigour and structured planning. Priority is given to tissue viability, long-term stability and the functional integration of the result.

The use of high-precision surgical technology optimises intraoperative control and helps to minimise the risk of complications.

The best strategy stems from shared experience.

Highly specialised reconstructive procedures Certain tissue defects require advanced microsurgical techniques and precise vascular planning. These procedures are carried out in specialised surgical settings and are followed up through a structured process.

Multidisciplinary coordination and support aimed at functional recovery

The Unit operates in close collaboration with other medical and surgical specialities at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital, particularly in the context of oncological, infectious or traumatic conditions.

This coordination enables reconstruction to be integrated into an overall clinical strategy, based on agreed criteria and scientific evidence, ensuring therapeutic consistency throughout all stages of the process.

The care model combines a comprehensive pre-operative assessment, individualised technical planning and standardised post-operative follow-up. Each case is analysed, with the necessary clinical time allocated to explain options, assess risks and address any concerns, thereby facilitating informed and shared decision-making.

The experience gained in highly complex cases is integrated with an approach of continuous support, aimed not only at safe anatomical restoration but also at a robust and sustained functional recovery over time.

Specialist assessment in reconstructive surgery

The Unit carries out an expert assessment to analyse the defect or sequela, review the available reconstructive options and plan the most appropriate surgical strategy for each case.
