SURGERY OF CUTANEOUS AND SUBCUTANEOUS TUMORS
Surgery of Cutaneous and Subcutaneous Tumors: Why Choose the Plastic Surgeon as the Right Specialist
The Surgical Treatment of Cutaneous and Subcutaneous Tumors
Surgical treatment represents one of the most effective options for the removal of cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the tumor along with a portion of the surrounding healthy tissue. This technique minimizes the risk of recurrence, ensuring complete elimination of the tumor. The choice of surgical procedure depends mainly on the size, location, and characteristics of the tumor.
Advanced Techniques in Plastic Surgery for Skin Tumors
Plastic surgery offers advanced and specialized solutions for the treatment of skin tumors. Among the most commonly used techniques are standard excision, excision with reconstruction using local flaps, distant flaps, or skin grafts. The goal is to best restore the aesthetics and functionality of the treated area, minimizing scarring and optimizing results.
Advantages of Plastic Surgery in the Treatment of Skin Tumors
The plastic surgeon is the ideal specialist to treat cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors, thanks to their specific training and experience in tissue management. The main advantages of plastic surgery in this context include:
Precision and Attention to Detail: Training in plastic surgery allows for the treatment of lesions with particular attention to preserving aesthetics and functionality.
Advanced Reconstructive Techniques: Thanks to knowledge of reconstructive techniques, the plastic surgeon can manage even the most complex cases, minimizing scarring and optimizing recovery.
Personalized Assessment: Each case is analyzed individually, choosing the most suitable surgical technique based on the location and characteristics of the tumor.
Post-Operative Recovery and Prevention
Post-operative recovery after removal of skin tumors is generally quick. Most patients are able to return to their daily activities within a few days, following the instructions provided by the surgeon to avoid complications and ensure proper healing.
It is essential to recognize the warning signs of cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors. Changes in the shape, color, or size of a mole, as well as the appearance of suspicious lesions, should be immediately reported to your doctor. Early diagnosis is crucial to promptly treat tumors and ensure a favorable outcome.
Conclusions: Choosing the Plastic Surgeon for Skin Tumor Surgery
Relying on a plastic surgeon for the removal of cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors is a strategic choice, combining the effectiveness of surgical removal with the possibility of optimally reconstructing the tissues. The combination of an oncological approach and reconstructive techniques ensures a safe, comprehensive treatment with minimal aesthetic impact.
I deal, within the field of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, with the diagnosis and surgical treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, the surgical correction of the outcomes of this type of surgery not performed by expert hands, and the correction of the resulting dysmorphisms, with the aim of applying a synthesis between specific technical requirements and clinical needs integrated with patient care. I carry out this activity as a freelancer and in agreement with the main insurance companies at my practice and at the Casa di Cura La Madonnina.
Standard Excision: This is a technique that involves the simple removal of the tumor with margins of healthy tissue, useful in cases of small, well-localized lesions. Excision with Reconstruction: In more complex situations, such as large lesions or those located in aesthetically or functionally critical areas, the surgeon may use flaps or grafts to restore the missing tissue. This approach ensures optimal coverage of the treated area, improving appearance and healing.
