Plastic surgery

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty interested in the correction of form and function. While famous for aesthetic surgery, plastic surgery also includes a variety of fields: craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, burn surgery, microsurgery, and pediatric surgery. The word "plastic" derives from the Greek plastikos meaning to mold or to shape; its use here is not connected with the synthetic polymer material known as plastic. Common techniques used in plastic surgery are:* incision* excision* microsurgery* chemosurgery* electrosurgery* laser surgery* dermabrasion* liposuction In plastic surgery the transfer of skin tissue (skin grafting) is one of the most common procedures. (In traditional surgery a “graft” is a piece of living tissue, organ, etc., that is transplanted. * Autografts: Skin grafts taken from the recipient. If absent or deficient of natural tissue, alternatives can be:o Cultured Sheets of epithelial cells in vitro. o Synthetic compounds (e.g., Integra--a 2 layered dermal substitute consisting superficially of silicone and deeply of bovine tendon collagen with glycosaminoglycans).* Allografts: Skin grafts taken from a donor of the same species.* Xenografts: Skin grafts taken from a donor of a different species. Usually, good results are expected from plastic surgery that emphasizes:* Careful planning of incisions so that they fall in the line of natural skin folds or lines.* Appropriate choice of wound closure.* Use of best available suture materials.* Early removal of exposed sutures so that the wound is held closed by buried sutures.

my kitty..i found him crawling on the street, beaten by some beast. he had a broken bladder and died 3 long days later, after several painful treatments and a final operation. He was only 2 months old. I only had him 4 48 hours, but it felt like a lifetime. Rest in peace, my dear angel.. i'll always,remember you when nobody will know that the Earth ever existed. So please people, do your best to help animals in need..If i couldn't save this poor baby, maybe you will. And you will surely be rewarded for that.
