Complex Abdominal Reconstruction


Abdominal reconstructive surgery may be required to restore the integrity of the abdominal wall, muscle, or skin due to trauma, tumor resection or complex hernias. Since the reasons for having abdominal reconstructive surgery differ, procedures are performed specific to the condition the surgery is intended to treat.

The Procedure
At Albany Medical Center, our plastic surgeons understand the complexity of abdominal reconstructive surgery. They use the most sophisticated techniques to repair defects or weakness of the abdomen in patients diagnosed with certain conditions. Abdominal reconstructive surgery may involve several procedures to restore the anatomy of the abdomen and improve function and appearance.

The Recovery
The recovery process for individuals undergoing abdominal reconstructive surgery depends on the complexity of injury and the type of procedure performed among many other factors. However, with meticulous preoperative planning and implementation of the most advanced surgical techniques, abdominal reconstructive surgery can be achieved with favorable outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.
