Cancer Reconstructive Surgery

Cancer Reconstructive Surgery at Bembde Hospital

Restoring Lives and Confidence with Compassionate Care

Cancer is not just a physical challenge; it profoundly impacts a person’s appearance, self-esteem, and quality of life. At Bembde Hospital, we understand the journey that cancer patients go through, and our Cancer Reconstructive Surgery services are designed to help patients regain their dignity, confidence, and functionality. With a compassionate approach and advanced techniques, we focus on rebuilding lives, not just restoring physical form.

Why Cancer Reconstructive Surgery Matters

Cancer treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy often leave behind significant physical defects that affect not only appearance but also functional abilities. Reconstructive surgery is essential to restore anatomical structure, aesthetic appeal, and physiological function after cancer removal. It addresses the complex needs of patients who have undergone tumor excision, helping them heal holistically.

Types of Cancer Reconstructive Surgeries

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women. After mastectomy, patients often seek breast reconstruction to restore their natural contours and symmetry. Our techniques include:

  • Autologous Tissue Reconstruction (Flap Surgery): Using tissue from the abdomen (TRAM/DIEP flaps), thighs, or back (Latissimus Dorsi flap).
  • Implant-Based Reconstruction: Using silicone or saline implants to recreate the breast mound.
  • Nipple-Areolar Complex Reconstruction: To restore natural appearance.
  • Oncoplastic Surgery: Combining tumor removal with cosmetic reconstruction for optimal results.

Tumors of the oral cavity, pharynx, and face can cause significant deformities. Our specialized surgeries include:

  • Microvascular Free Flap Reconstruction: Transferring healthy tissue with blood vessels from other parts of the body.
  • Local Flap Techniques: For smaller defects, preserving aesthetic harmony.
  • Jaw and Mandible Reconstruction: Using fibula flaps or titanium implants.
  • Nasal and Lip Reconstruction: Restoring form and function with precision.

Skin cancers or extensive soft tissue tumors require complete excision, leaving defects that demand meticulous reconstruction. We perform:

  • Flap Coverage: To close the defect while preserving skin elasticity.
  • Skin Grafting: Using autografts or allografts to cover wounds.
  • Scar Revision Techniques: To improve aesthetic outcomes post-surgery.

For sarcomas and soft tissue tumors in the limbs, we perform:

  • Bone and Soft Tissue Flaps: Restoring integrity and limb function.
  • Vascularized Bone Transfers: To replace large bone defects.
  • Muscle Flaps for Soft Tissue Coverage: Preventing infection and supporting healing.

Cancer affecting the penis, scrotum, or perineal area requires sensitive and skillful reconstruction to preserve function and appearance.

  • Penile Reconstruction: Using local and free flaps.
  • Scrotal and Perineal Reconstruction: Ensuring comfort and function.
