These include cleft lip and palate, microsomia, anotia(absence of ear), craniosynostosis, hand and foot deformities like polydactyly, syndactyly and many more.
Wide range of defects and anomalies occur at birth due to infection, medication, genetics and other environmental insults, most of them can be treated with plastic surgery .
Most common treatment for cancers is resection , which implies that wound or defect- simple to complex is created, which requires closure as well as return of function. It is the work of plastic surgery where we reconstruct the defects and wounds created by resection of tumor so that the cover and to some extent the function is maintained.
Like wise in trauma there will be loss of bone segments in hands and foot where we can reconstruct both bone and soft tissue from native tissue and can provide anatomical as well as functional finger, hand and foot.
