Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Hand & Upper Limb Reconstruction

Hand and upper limb reconstruction focuses on restoring function, aesthetics, and mobility following trauma, congenital deformities, or surgical resections. Techniques include tendon repair, nerve reconstruction, fracture stabilization, skin grafts, and flap coverage. Microsurgery plays a key role in replantation, vascularized tissue transfer, and functional restoration. Rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and patient-centered planning are integral to optimizing recovery and long-term outcomes. Emerging innovations include 3D-printed surgical guides, regenerative medicine approaches, and advanced orthotics for functional support. Ethical considerations, patient counseling, and outcome evaluation ensure realistic expectations and safety. Participants gain insights into surgical techniques, reconstructive planning, innovative technologies, and multidisciplinary strategies to restore hand and upper limb function while maximizing aesthetic and functional results.
