Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Overview

We emphasize the evolutionary research into surgical treatment associated with the abnormal morphology of the craniomaxillo-facial bone, as well as embryological and genetic research and research on the growth of congenital abnormal craniofacial morphology. Research into skin flap hemodynamics based on analysis of the blood circulation to and the morphology of skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, muscles, and bone is also an important theme in reconstructive surgery. We also want to conduct stem cell implantation based on fat graft, and to conduct research into epidermis, dermis, and cartilage transplantation using tissue culture. We also conduct systematic research into hemangioma focusing on eyelid ptosis and vascular malformation.
