A superspecialty branch covering wound and burn care, trauma and craniofacial reconstruction, microvascular surgery and cosmetic procedures.
Plastic surgery at Mangala Hospital is treated as a genuine superspecialty rather than an add-on service. On the reconstructive side, the department deals with healing chronic wounds and ulcers, treating injuries to critical areas such as the face, hands and feet, and correcting deformity or disability that follows illness or trauma. On the cosmetic side, the same reconstructive skill set supports elective procedures intended to enhance appearance and confidence.
The department's scope is genuinely broad: wound care including diabetic foot salvage and bed sores; burn injury management for both fresh wounds and old burn contractures; trauma reconstructive surgery to restore body parts damaged by injury, especially the face and hand; craniofacial surgery of the ear, eyelids, nose, lips, cheek, chin and neck; hand and nerve surgery for tendons, vessels and hemangiomas; microvascular surgery, including reattachment of amputated parts; dermatological (skin) surgery for scars, birthmarks, naevus and skin cancer; paediatric plastic surgery; and genital reconstructive surgery.
Fresh burns, hand trauma and amputation injuries are managed through our Casualty department, open 24x7.
Call: 0824 244 3088Microvascular surgery techniques allow reattachment of amputated fingers, hands or other body parts where viable.
Dedicated wound-care pathways aim to salvage the diabetic foot and avoid amputation wherever clinically possible.
Fresh burn injuries and old burn contractures are both treated, alongside chronic ulcers and bed sores.
Specialised reconstructive skill for the ear, eyelids, nose, lips, cheek, chin, neck, and the hand's tendons and nerves.
Elective cosmetic procedures are planned through a confidential consultation focused on suitability, realistic expectations and patient safety.
Specialist assessment and reconstructive treatment support children with congenital differences, injuries and post-surgical concerns.
Chronic wounds, diabetic-foot complications and bed sores are managed through structured wound care, debridement and appropriate dressing protocols. When required, flap or graft reconstruction aims to preserve the limb and restore a stable, healed surface suitable for movement and weight bearing.
Care includes fresh burn wounds, established burn contractures and reconstruction following trauma. Treatment is planned around restoring movement, protection and appearance, with particular attention to functionally important areas such as the face, hands and feet.
Magnification-assisted techniques support repair of fine tendons, nerves and blood vessels. In suitable emergencies involving an amputated finger, hand or other part, microvascular reattachment may be attempted to restore blood supply and preserve as much function as possible.
Craniofacial surgery addresses selected conditions affecting the ear, eyelids, nose, lips, cheek, chin and neck. Cosmetic procedures and skin surgery for scars, birthmarks or naevi begin with a detailed clinical assessment, realistic discussion of outcomes and an individual treatment plan.
A detailed evaluation of the wound, injury or cosmetic concern, including relevant medical history.
Reconstructive cases are planned around function and healing; cosmetic cases around the outcome you want.
The appropriate technique — from wound debridement to microvascular reattachment or cosmetic correction — is performed.
Structured follow-up supports healing and helps manage scarring for the best long-term result.
Reconstructive surgery restores form and function after injury, illness or a congenital condition — burns, trauma, cancer surgery defects, cleft lip and similar cases. Cosmetic surgery is elective, chosen by patients to enhance their appearance rather than to treat a medical problem.
Not always — success depends on how the part was injured, how it was preserved, and how quickly the patient reaches surgery. Bringing the amputated part to hospital, cooled but not frozen, and coming in immediately gives the best chance of a successful microvascular reattachment.
Through early wound assessment, infection control, debridement and, where needed, reconstructive flap or graft cover, combined with blood-sugar control and vascular assessment — the goal is to salvage a functional, healed foot wherever the tissue and blood supply allow it.
Yes. Old burn contractures — tight, restrictive scarring that limits movement — can be released and reconstructed with scar revision, grafting or flap surgery, even years after the original burn.
Reconstructive procedures — trauma, burns, wound care, congenital correction — are generally covered under standard mediclaim and TPA policies; purely cosmetic procedures usually are not. See our Insurance page or ask our billing desk to confirm your specific case.
