Department of Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand and Breast Surgery
Specialized in: plastic reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, hand and breast surgery About the Department of Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand and Breast Surgery at Clinic for Plastic Surgery Eduardus Cologne
The Department of Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand and Breast Surgery at the Clinic for Plastic Surgery Eduardus Cologne offers the full range of modern interventions in the field of plastic surgery. The department’s surgeons are distinguished for their successful experience in microsurgical interventions, aesthetic and reconstructive operations after tumor removal. In addition, the department’s competence includes interventions to correct hand defects and injuries. The specialists have in their arsenal all the treatment methods, including microsurgery and endoscopy. The department works in accordance with the very latest surgical standards, and therefore has a reputable status both at the national and international levels. The department is headed by Dr. med. Alfons Erdmann.
The key attention in clinical practice is paid to reconstructive surgery. One of the main focuses is nose reshaping. The department offers a unique opportunity, which is available only in this clinic – free microvascular transfer of skin cartilage flap from the auricle to the pinna nasi. In addition, the department also provides the reconstructive treatment for basalioma, melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma and other tumors. Additionally, the department performs reconstructive interventions for soft tissues of the body (for example, in case of anterior abdominal wall hernia or bedsores).
Aesthetic surgery is responsible for improving the appearance of a person. The department mostly performs aesthetic interventions on the face, nose, ears and breast. The department also performs liposuction of all problem areas, injections of botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid / fillers, as well as lipofilling (rejuvenation using the patient’s own adipose cells) and Microfat lipofilling. The service range is complemented by the removal of sweat glands in case of hyperhidrosis, as well as non-surgical treatment methods.
Dr. Alfons Erdmann has a special competency in breast surgery. Under his control, the surgeons use the very latest plastic surgery techniques with perforator flaps, in which the capillaries are cut off from the surrounding tissues using a sparing microsurgical technique. Depending on the clinical case, an appropriate type of flap surgery is individually determined for each patient. In addition, the department deals with the treatment of congenital breast pathologies, for example, tubular breast correction. In this case, it is also possible to perform free transplantation of the patient's own tissues.
In addition, the department treats all diseases of the hand and wrist. When treating tumors, the doctors use modern diagnostic and therapeutic options (for example, wrist arthroscopy). In case of surgical treatment, key attention is paid to preserving hand function.
When treating soft tissue defects and injuries, the surgeons actively use various modifications of flap plastic surgery. In the cases where simple skin transplantation is not possible, the microsurgical techniques can be used. At the same time, when harvesting donor skin flap, a binocular magnifier or a microscope is used. The blood vessels are carefully separated and then attached to the vessels in the area of damaged soft tissue using microsurgical techniques. Such operations require a careful preliminary planning.
