Breast Oncoplasty is an advanced surgical technique that combines the principles of cancer surgery and plastic surgery to remove breast tumors while preserving or improving the breast's appearance. It involves the resection of cancerous tissue (lumpectomy or partial mastectomy) followed by reconstructive techniques to reshape the remaining breast tissue. The goal is to ensure complete cancer removal while achieving a more aesthetically pleasing and natural breast contour.
Microvascular Free Flap Surgery is a complex reconstructive surgical technique used to repair and rebuild areas of the body after trauma, tumor removal, or other significant tissue loss. It involves transferring tissue—such as skin, fat, muscle, or bone—from one part of the body (the donor site) to another (the recipient site). The transferred tissue, or "flap," is connected to blood vessels at the recipient site using microsurgery techniques to ensure proper blood flow and tissue viability.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat problems in the chest, including the lungs and surrounding structures. During VATS, a thoracoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light) and surgical instruments are inserted through small incisions in the chest. This allows surgeons to view the chest cavity on a video screen and perform procedures with minimal disruption to the body.
