Head and Neck
Reconstructions in head and neck region are called for after loss of tissue either by trauma (including burn trauma) or by surgical removal of tumors including cancers.
The methods of reconstruction include simple skin grafting, using tissue from the surroundings called local flaps ( single stage surgery, Using tissue from the same region called regional flaps(multistage surgery) or tissue from distant parts of body called distant flaps(multistage surgery)or microsurgical free tissue transfer (free flap – single stage surgery).

Professor Dr. Ashok Govila invented a new technique of reconstruction called extracorporeal tissue transfer. Some pages of his book on this subject titled ALTERNATIVE FREEE FLAPS can be seen on the home page of this site. In this method an island flap is harvested on a long vascular pedicle and the vessels remain undivided since there is a risk of anastomosis getting blocked with blood clot. The flap is moved to the site of reconstruction by brings the donor and the recipient part closer for 10 days. When the transferred tissue heals that normally takes 10 days then the vessels are divided and the parts of body freed. Now the transferred tissue is living on the blood supply that it has re-established herself from the recipient bed and this will improve in next 6 months.

Professor Ashok performs all these methods and cost of surgery depends upon the stages of surgery required, duration of each surgery, and duration of hospitalization.
