Cancer reconstruction is
a type of reconstructive surgery that helps to restore the body following cancer treatment. It is typically explored following procedures like mastectomy,
tumour removal, or reconstruction of the face, jaw, breast, or other involved
areas. They aim to improve function and appearance and to assist in mental
healing and confidence. Reconstruction may be performed immediately after cancer
surgery or at a later date, depending on a patient’s health, treatment plan
and personal preference. Depending on the location and amount of tissue
loss, options include implants, tissue flaps, skin grafts or prosthetic
solutions. Rehabilitation is often a crucial factor in assisting
patients to return to their everyday lives with increased comfort and
self-esteem.
Before planning the
treatment, an experienced team of doctors will evaluate the type of malignancy,
the healing process, and the long-term prognosis. Each reconstruction
journey is unique, and treatment is tailored to the patient’s needs and goals,
which may include factors such as the type of cancer, the patient's personal
preferences, and the desired aesthetic outcomes. Using today’s surgical
procedures, the reconstruction of cancer can give natural-looking results
and a significant improvement in quality of life.
