Department of Plastic, Burn Surgery and Hand Surgery
Specialized in: plastic, burn surgery, hand surgery About the Department of Plastic, Burn Surgery and Hand Surgery at University Hospital RWTH Aachen
The Department of Plastic, Burn Surgery and Hand Surgery at the University Hospital RWTH Aachen offers the full range of services in these medical fields. The specialization covers reconstructive microsurgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery of the breast, postbariatric surgery, planned and emergency hand surgery. The clinical practice is based on the use of the very latest surgical techniques, which guarantee excellent functional and aesthetic results. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Justus Beier.
The experts in the field of reconstructive surgery are engaged in the restoration of shape and functions of the body. The department performs surgery to reconstruct large defects of the skin and soft tissues, for example, after the removal of tumors or accidents, skin distortion by scars, breast loss after cancer, as well as paralysis of the nerves in the face or hands. The first stage of treatment is comprehensive counseling and diagnostics, after which the optimal surgical technique is selected. The scope of services ranges from laser treatment of extensive scars to microsurgical tissue transplantations during breast reconstruction. Another priority field is reconstructive surgery of the head and neck after burns and after the removal of tumors.
In the field of aesthetic surgery of the face and neck, special attention is paid to eyelid and face lift, as well as lipofilling. In addition, the surgical options cover complex hand surgery, including 24-hour replantation surgery service. Plastic surgical reconstruction of all burn scars and all severe wounds is also a key focus of the department.
