Flap surgery treats patients who have lost skin, fat or muscle, or who have skeletal injuries, by moving healthy tissue — with its own blood supply — from a nearby or distant part of the body to the wound.
Dr. Sasikanth Maddu performs both surgical and non-surgical treatments to achieve the best outcome for each case, choosing the flap technique best suited to the wound's size, location and cause.
Flap surgery moves healthy tissue — complete with its own blood supply — from a donor site to repair an area that has lost skin, fat, muscle or bone, most often after trauma or disease.
The wound and surrounding tissue are carefully assessed
A flap type is chosen — local, regional or microvascular — to match the defect
Healthy tissue is transferred with its blood supply intact
The area is monitored closely during early healing
Flap surgery is chosen and planned around the specific wound in front of Dr. Maddu, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach — an important distinction in reconstructive care.
