Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Our Unit of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is the headquarter of the post-graduate Medical Residency program in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery of the University of Studies of Insubria, Varese.

Clinical activity is mainly focused on:

      • Oncological surgery of melanocytic and non-melanocytic skin tumours (both the demolition and reconstructive components)
      • Post-oncological reconstruction (in the context of cutaneous, cervico-facial and breast neoplasms)
      • Post-traumatic reconstruction
      • Burn management and post-acute reconstruction
      • Body remodelling in post-bariatric surgery outcomes
      • Paediatric plastic surgery (with the exception of malformative plastic surgery)
      • Aesthetic and cosmetic surgery (mainly oculo-palpebral surgery, body-countouring and breast cosmetic surgery)

Main research interests are related to:

      • Morphoanatomical studies on the distribution of cutaneous perforating vessels in various body anatomical regions
      • Study of the biology of adipose tissue in the context of regenerative medicine and surgery
      • Clinical observational and review studies (in the field of breast reconstruction, hand surgery and microsurgery)

Our training program also includes active participation in cadaver labs with the aim of refining the development of new surgical techniques and developing new research insights.

The teachings offered to our Residents conform to the European standards required for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Residency Schools with the aim of training Professionals in line with the advances in our discipline and capable of entering a broader clinical-academic scene.
