Reconstructive Surgery
At the heart of Mr. Eccles’ practice lies a comprehensive expertise in reconstructive plastic surgery and craniofacial procedures, designed to restore both form and function for patients facing complex medical conditions. Whether addressing congenital anomalies, traumatic injuries, or cancer-related defects, Mr. Eccles offers advanced surgical solutions tailored to each individual’s needs.
What is it?
Reconstructive surgery aims to repair, rebuild, or restore parts of the body affected by trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. Craniofacial surgery specifically focuses on abnormalities or injuries involving the bones and soft tissues of the skull and face, which can significantly impact appearance, function, and quality of life.
Mr. Eccles treats a wide variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
Treatment of Skin Lesions and Skin Cancers: Expert removal and reconstruction following excision of skin cancers or other skin lesions to ensure optimal healing and cosmetic outcome.
Facial Trauma: Management of fractures, soft tissue injuries, and complex wounds resulting from accidents or injuries to restore facial structure and function.
Craniomaxillofacial Injuries: Repair of injuries to the skull, jaw, and facial bones using advanced surgical techniques.
Congenital Paediatric Craniofacial Conditions: Corrective surgery for birth defects such as cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis (premature fusion of skull bones), and other developmental anomalies in children.
Post Mohs surgery reconstruction: Reconstructive surgery needed to repair the wound post Mohs surgery. This may involve fine suturing, skin grafts, or local skin flaps, depending on the size and location of the defect. The goal is always to achieve the best possible cosmetic and functional outcome.
Adult and Paediatric Acquired Facial Deformities: Reconstruction of facial deformities caused by trauma, disease, or prior surgeries.
Head and Neck Cancer Reconstruction: Complex surgical reconstruction following cancer removal, helping patients regain appearance and essential functions such as speech and swallowing.
Microsurgery: Precision surgery involving the transfer of tissue, nerves, or blood vessels to reconstruct areas with intricate structures, often essential in head and neck reconstruction.
Orbital and Periorbital Disease: Treatment of conditions affecting the eye socket and surrounding tissues, preserving eye function and appearance.
Haemangiomas and Vascular Malformations: Management and surgical treatment of benign vascular tumors and birthmarks, improving aesthetics and functionality.
Neurofibromatosis Type-1 Lesions: Surgical management of benign tumors associated with this genetic condition, often requiring complex multidisciplinary care.
Osseointegration and Facial Prostheses: Use of advanced implants and prosthetic devices to restore missing facial parts for improved function and cosmetic appearance.
Multidisciplinary Approach for Optimal Care
Many of these conditions are complex and require collaboration across multiple specialties. Mr. Eccles works closely within multidisciplinary teams, including neurosurgeons, oncologists, ENT surgeons, paediatric specialists, radiologists, and therapists to ensure a comprehensive evaluation and coordinated treatment plan. In some cases, joint consultations with other experts (MDTs) are necessary to provide the highest standard of personalised care.
