The Cosmetic Surgeon's objective is to visually improve a patient's look, thus the operations, concepts, and techniques employed are solely focused on this outcome. The objective is to increase the proportion, aesthetic attractiveness, and symmetry of the bodily component being treated. Dr. (Maj Gen) Avtar Singh Bath is fulfilling this objective for the last 30 years of extensive service in this field. He is currently working as the Senior Consultant & Head at the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Department at BLK Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi.
With an experience of more than 30 years, he was the first medic in India to start Calvarial Bone Grafting procedures, comprehensive management of arteriovenous malformations and new modalities of treatment of tendon injuries of the hand. Instrumental in setting up a state-of-the-art Centre for Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery at the Army Hospital in Delhi Cantonment and also at BLK Super speciality Hospital.
Dr Bath specialised in Cosmetic Surgery, General Plastic Surgery, Micro Surgery and Hand Surgery. He is an expert in providing treatments like Body Lift Surgery Arm Lift, Bariatric Surgery, Cryolipolysis - Non-Surgical Fat Reduction, Tummy Tuck and many more cosmetic treatments. He completed his MBBS and later went for MS in cosmetic surgery.
He is an esteemed member of renowned organisations such as The Assoc of Plastic Surgeons of India, The Assoc of Surgeons of India, The Indian Assoc of Aesthetic Surgery, Indian Hair Restorative Society.
What exactly is Microsurgery?
Reconstructive microsurgery is a surgical speciality that uses sophisticated operating microscopes and precise instruments to repair complex systems as small as a few millimetres in diameter, such as blood arteries and nerves. This discipline has had a significant influence in restoring shape and function to persons who have been harmed by trauma, cancer, or congenital abnormalities.
Microsurgical treatments encompass a wide spectrum of highly customised surgeries. Microsurgical reconstruction is usually reserved for difficult reconstructive surgery problems where other alternatives (primary closure, skin grafting, local or regional flap transfer) are insufficient.
Microsurgery techniques that are often used
- Free tissue transfer for breast reconstruction
- Reconstruction of the head and neck utilising free tissue transfer
- For certain forms of muscular paralysis, free muscle transfer is functional.
- Transfer of a Vascularized Bone Flap
- Reconstruction of complex wounds
- Transplantation of a toe
- Replantation of digits
- Nerve grafting and repair
- Lymphatic redevelopment
What steps are included in a Microsurgery procedure?
Step 1- Anaesthesia
During the surgical process, you will be given medications to help you relax. Because of their precision and frequently lengthy duration, microsurgical operations are generally conducted under general anaesthesia.
Step 2 – Making the incision
A donor site and a recipient site are involved in a free tissue transfer utilising microsurgery. First, the recipient location may be prepped after cancer or scar tissue has been surgically removed. At the recipient location, tiny blood vessels and nerves are meticulously dissected. Once a suitable donor site has been identified, tissue can be separated based on its own blood supply. Using an operating microscope, the tissue is then removed from the body and blood vessels are reattached at the recipient location.
Step 3: Finishing the incisions
Incisions may need to be closed with detachable sutures, skin adhesives, or dissolving sutures depending on your condition and operation.
Step 4 – Analyse the results
As swelling subsides, the benefits of microsurgery will become apparent. It is possible that your ultimate result will not be achieved for several months.
Conclusion
Microsurgery, in its widest definition, refers to any surgery performed under the magnification of a microscope. Microsurgery has considerably extended the variety of treatments that surgeons may do safely and successfully in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery by allowing far better accuracy in numerous procedures.
Microsurgery allows surgeons to use special operating microscopes to reconnect severed fingers or transplant huge portions of tissue, muscle, or bone from one region of the body to another, vastly increasing our doctors' capacity to treat patients. The blood vessels and nerves from the portion (or flap) being transferred are carefully reattached using the power of the operating microscope to magnify the region being operated on, so the transplanted tissue may thrive in the new place and feel in the transplanted tissue is preserved.
Microsurgery cases might be the most difficult in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. The Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery's surgeons have the requisite training, skill, and experience in microsurgery.
