Reconstructive or restorative surgery is a branch of clinical medicine whose main purpose is to correct congenital and acquired body deformities, as well as functional disorders, whether they are genetic or caused by diseases and injuries.
The primary objective of reconstructive (restorative) surgery is to ensure the proper functioning of organs and to achieve aesthetic improvements.
Reconstructive surgical procedures hold significant importance in addressing congenital and acquired bodily defects that can greatly diminish quality of life or even be life-threatening.
This field involves repairing the structure and functions of bodily tissues after damage resulting from trauma, birth anomalies, or oncological conditions. This may encompass the repair of bones, joints, muscles, skin, and organs. Reconstructive surgery aims to enhance patient quality of life and functional well-being.
If required, specialists will provide consultations to residents not only in Ukraine but also from any country around the world, either in-person at the clinic in Kiev or online through scheduled appointments.

Charitable surgical assistance
We perform all surgical interventions in accordance with the standards set by the European Association of Reconstructive Surgeons.
We use IPRAS standards
We engage well-known foreign surgeons in all surgical interventions.
We simulate and ensure the outcomes of surgical interventions. We utilize biopolymers and the patient’s own autologous tissues through autografting techniques.
Surgical interventions are carried out with the help of modern techniques of the hardware base of 2021 – these are laser installations, endoscopic, laparoscopic equipment and modern possibilities of growing the patient’s own tissues, in particular skin.

in the case of taking any drugs, inform the doctor about it and agree with him (it may be necessary to limit them or change the dose, regimen)
for a few days before the operation, follow a gentle diet, water-drinking regime; if there is constipation, take laxatives, use enemas and do not drink alcoholic beverages – so that the body reacts more adequately and predictably to anesthesia and other drugs
refrain from eating for 6–12 hours before the operation, and for 2–4 hours also do not drink, do not use chewing gum, do not smoke – to prevent stomach contents from entering the respiratory organs during anesthesia
on the day of the operation, take a shower, cleanse the intestines with an enema – so that during anesthesia, due to the relaxation of the sphincters, feces do not come out involuntarily
immediately before the operation :
removable objects (piercing jewelry, prostheses) should be removed from the oral cavity and face – so that during the operation they do not accidentally enter the respiratory organs or interfere with the surgical intervention; remove other items (contact lenses, hearing aids, jewelry, etc.) – so that they do not accidentally injure the body and do not get spoiled; cosmetic products (makeup, nail polish, artificial nails) should be removed from the body – to facilitate visual assessment of the body's condition and automated registration using medical equipment; empty the bladder and, if necessary, the intestine – so that this does not happen involuntarily during anesthesia; changing into special clothes, which are given in the clinic
addition, other preparatory measures may be carried out taking into account the individual characteristics of the organism and the specifics of the surgical intervention
The main stages:
or escorted on foot. In the airlock room, a medical cap and shoe covers are put on (to prevent microorganisms from entering the air of the operating room)
by an operational team of a certain composition, taking into account the specifics of each operation
(depending on the specifics of the operation, the position of the body may differ), fixed to it with special straps
performs a vein puncture on the hand, installs a catheter to administer the necessary drugs, installs electrodes on the body to monitor the electrical activity of the heart, puts a tonometer cuff on the shoulder, and a sensor to determine the oxygen level in the blood. All this is necessary for continuous monitoring of the body's condition during anesthesia and surgery
depends on the specific task, the part of the body on which the intervention is carried out, corresponds to the features of the selected surgical tactics, technique
After surgery, the patient awakens in the postoperative observation ward. If necessary, oxygen can be administered through a slender tube to ensure an adequate oxygen supply to the body. The nurse will diligently monitor the patient’s condition and, if needed, administer medications as approved by the doctor.
Prior to the patient’s discharge, the doctor will assess the sites where the procedure was conducted, collaborate on a plan for ongoing rehabilitation, and provide additional guidance.

Reconstructive surgery is a specialized field of clinical medicine that focuses on restoring the structure and functionality of congenital or acquired, deformed, or lost body parts. Traditionally, plastic surgery aims to correct defects, while reconstructive surgery is concerned with the restoration of body parts. In reality, these two disciplines share a significant overlap and are often integrated into procedures known as reconstructive plastic surgery operations.
The duration and number of stages of reconstructive surgery vary depending on each individual case – ranging from a few tens of minutes to a much longer period.
The guarantee for reconstructive surgery pertains to the accurate execution of services, advanced diagnostic procedures, treatment, highly qualified specialists, implants, and other necessary medical supplies and equipment.
Before deciding to undergo reconstructive surgery, thorough laboratory and instrumental studies should be carried out. The results of these studies will help ensure the proper condition of the body and the safety of the surgical treatment.
Possible complications after reconstructive surgeries may include bleeding, thrombosis, infectious and inflammatory conditions, cosmetic defects, and more. Careful preparation for the operation, highly qualified and experienced medical staff, modern high-tech equipment, and the coordinated work of the medical team and other clinic staff help minimize the risk of complications.
Contraindications for reconstructive operations are conditions in which the severity significantly increases the risks associated with surgical treatment. Examples of such conditions include infectious diseases, mental disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and more.
