Extremity reconstruction Toronto
Toronto extremity reconstruction takes place after an injury or after a patient underwent a major cancer removal surgery. When considering extremity reconstruction in toronto, one must take into account the need for wound coverage/closure as well as for the function. Goal of the extremity reconstrution surgery is to allow the patient not only to heal, but also to be able to return to regular everyday life, to be able to use his or her arms and legs to their fullest potential.
For patients who require extremity reconstruction Toronto, Dr. Jugenburg is able to offer Microsurgical Reconstruction procedures. Dr. Jugenburg has extensive experience in performing the most current flaps, such as ALT, Gracilis, Latissimus Dorsi, TAP and Rectus Abdominis free flaps. Advantage of these extremity reconstruction procedures is that they bring healthy tissue to an area that may have been badly injured, may have been exposed to Radiation Therapy, or simply requires a durable closure over exposed vital structures.
Due to the complexity of these procedures, Dr. Jugenburg currently performs them only at Toronto General Hospital and Mount Sinai Hospital. Should you wish to schedule an appointment with Dr. Jugenburg, please call 416-340-4805 at the Division of Plastic Surgery, Toronto General Hospital.
