About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Plastic Surgery, Hand Surgery at the University Hospital Rechts der Isar Munich offers the full range of services in its areas of specialization. The department successfully performs surgical interventions to improve the appearance at the patient's desire, operations to restore a lost or deformed part of the body due to an accident, as well as operations to remove tumors and correct congenital or acquired deformities. The department's specialists also perform surgical interventions to treat hand diseases, deformities and injuries. Doctors have unique experience in tissue transplantation, finger, arm and hand replantation surgery. In addition, the department offers all modern methods of treating lymphedema, including severe forms of pathology. Many surgical procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, which is an added benefit to patients. Thanks to its high treatment success rates, the medical facility enjoys an excellent reputation both in Germany and far beyond its borders. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Hans-Günther Machens.
The department's medical team consists of 16 highly qualified doctors who make every effort to achieve the best functional and aesthetic results. Surgical interventions are performed in state-of-the-art operating rooms with all the necessary equipment. Outpatient surgical procedures are performed in a separate outpatient operating room. To provide medical care in urgent clinical situations, a specially trained team of doctors works around the clock in the department.
In the field of reconstructive surgery, special attention is paid to surgery on the mammary glands, operations on soft tissues, tendons, nerve endings and blood vessels after injuries, operations to restore the attractive appearance and functions of various parts of the body after tumor resection. The department's surgeons have many years of experience, and modern surgical techniques allow performing effective interventions with minimal trauma to healthy tissues.
Those patients who do not like the appearance of a particular part of their body seek help from the department's aesthetic surgeons. The surgeons specializing in this medical field perform plastic surgery without clinical indications – at the patient's own request. The most popular are operations for breast augmentation and tummy tuck, liposuction, as well as nose and ear reshaping surgery, facelift. The department also treats wrinkles with Botox and filler injections. Prior to any operation, the patient undergoes a complex of diagnostic tests to assess the state of health, as well as exclude both operative and postoperative risks.
The department is one of the leading medical facilities in Germany specializing in the treatment of hand diseases and injuries. The highly qualified surgeons perform complex surgical interventions to treat wrist joint and finger joint arthrosis, nerve ending compression syndromes, hand fractures and traumatic injuries, Dupuytren's contracture, and hand defects in children. It should be noted that the department also performs corrective operations after unsuccessful surgical treatment of hand pathologies. The department includes a highly specialized Replantation Surgery Center, whose services are available to patients around the clock. In July 2008, the department's surgeons performed the first transplantation of both arms above the elbow for the first time in world history. About 40 specialists took part in the surgery under the guidance of the Head Physician of the department, Prof. Hans Günther-Mahens. The surgery was a brilliant success and gave many patients who had lost their upper extremities a chance to avoid disability. In some cases, the department's doctors successfully eliminate hand pathology using conservative treatments, without resorting to the surgical intervention.

- Reconstructive plastic surgery
