About the group
Over the past decades, research in plastic and reconstructive surgery has led to the development of numerous treatment methods for patients with various disorders and defects.
These methods are often based on experimental research that has been refined through clinical procedures.
The primary objective is to enhance patients' quality of life and satisfaction by addressing anomalies and dysfunctions.
