Leading plastic surgeon performs stellar innovation to save lives and regrow tissues.
A recent breakthrough in plastic surgery from India is certain to save more lives and improve patients’ health and recovery.
Dr. Saha combined the woman’s own cells, 3D biopolymer, and plasma-derived growth factors to regenerate new human tissues.
The survivor was admitted to the ICU of a private hospital in Kolkata with life-threatening injuries. Doctors removed the gangrenous tissues on her forehead during her recovery, exposing wide areas of the skull.
The usual solution was plastic surgery2 with flaps, which covers the wound by cutting and stretching large portions of the scalp. But, the patient’s fragile condition made it impossible to perform a flap surgery safely.
Instead of performing an extensive surgery on a critical patient, Dr. Saha attempted a novel technique. His innovative tissue engineering approach covered the barren bones with newly regenerated tissues. While robust cell regeneration shortened the wound, a skin graft over the remaining areas produced stunning results.
The patient, grieved over the death of her child, made swift recovery despite her vulnerable condition. Key to this rapid recovery was modern minimalistic surgery. The affected area, once covered with black gangrenous tissues, returned to an almost normal look.
The woman attributes her good health and successful recovery to the simplified plastic surgery that gave her back a natural-looking face.
Plastic surgeons have historically struggled to provide proper alternatives for patients with extraordinary wounds and needs. This unique procedure is a big step in the right direction, as it achieves more by doing less.
Dr. Srinjoy Saha has published his surgical innovation3 and its subsequent success in a top surgery journal, hoping others will adopt it too. A wider application of this novel procedure will ensure better healing for more patients with minimal surgery, fewer complications, and lesser costs.
"Every patient requesting plastic surgery is different, with their special needs and desires. I listen, understand, and educate them about their choices. Together, we arrive at the most acceptable solution and a tailor-made treatment plan. I aim to guide each patient towards their best results," said Dr. Saha.
A brief about Dr. Srinjoy Saha, amongst India's leading plastic surgeons.
