Reconstructive surgery is a specialized field of plastic surgery aimed at restoring function and appearance to body parts affected by congenital defects, trauma, infections, tumors, or medical conditions like cancer. It plays a crucial role in improving patients’ quality of life by repairing abnormalities, enhancing mobility, and reducing discomfort. Common procedures include cleft lip and palate repair, breast reconstruction after mastectomy, skin grafts for burn victims, and limb reconstruction. Advances in surgical techniques, microsurgery, and tissue engineering have significantly improved outcomes, allowing patients to regain confidence and lead a more fulfilling life.
