Reconstructive surgery
As reconstructive plastic surgeons we are commonly involved in the broad spectrum of defect reconstructions after trauma and cancer. This means that our research is commonly multidisciplinary in order to address current problems from different points of view. We conduct numerous studies on the outcomes of breast reconstructions after breast cancer, including the effects of radiotherapy. In the field of trauma we lead a trial on the necessity of a dangling protocol after complex lower leg reconstructions. We also conduct research on outcomes and complications after post-bariatric surgery.
