Plastic surgery
Plastic surgery is a clinical department aiming at improving the quality of life and organizational functions based on the patient's appearance by surgically restoring mainly birth defects and defects on the body surface. It handles tissues of the whole body, including skin, subcutaneous tissue, blood vessels, peripheral nerves, fascia, in the whole body, and also handles restoration of bones in the cranium and face.
Specifically, there are cases of trauma such as a traffic accident and burns (especially the face, fingers, limbs), fractures of the face and fingers, tumors of skin and subcutaneous tissues, reconstruction after cancer excision such as breast and head and neck, We deal with any acquired defects and deformation including problems. Treatment of wounds that are difficult to cure such as refractory skin ulcers caused by pressure ulcer and diabetes, treatment of atrophy and deformation of tissues due to collagen diseases and inflammatory diseases, ptosis, nail diseases and hyperhidrosis , I am doing treatment to solve the disease related to modeling and its troubles.
At Jichi Medical University Hospital, treatment for birth defects on the body surface such as the face, trunk, hands and feet (under 15 years old) is handled in "Childhood Plastic Surgery". In addition, cosmetic treatment and rejuvenating treatment accompanying aging are handled in "cosmetic surgery".

Greeting
Guidance of Jichi Medical University's Department of Plastic Surgery. 吉村浩太郎
Formation of Jichi Medical School There are three departments in the Department of External Sciences. "Plastic surgery" and "cosmetic surgery" at Jichi Medical University Hospital, "Childhood plastic surgery" at Tochigi Children Medical Center are doing medical treatment. "Plastic surgery" will treat the whole body diseases, trauma, postoperative deformation and defects. We treat fractures with face and hand as well. "Cosmetic surgery" responds to requests for external appearance other than disease. "Child forming plastic surgery" is doing plastic surgery of patients under 15 years old, mainly treatment of congenital anomalies of the cranio-maxillofacial face and limbs.
Three clinics and departments dealing with congenital anomalies (otolaryngology dealing with malformations such as auricles, orthopedics dealing with deformities of limbs, acetone dealing with bruising) are our surviving surgery about 60 years ago It is. As a translation of plastic surgery, I decided to use the word "plastic surgery" as the name of the conference. Incidentally in China and Taiwan, I write "整形外科" (to shape). I write the Japanese orthopedic surgery as "骨科" (to cure bones) in Chinese. Cosmetic surgery writes "美容外科" even in Chinese.
After that, plastic surgery not only dealt with birth defects of the body surface and repair of trauma but also reconstructed large defects of the organization due to surgery and trauma. Since microsurgery technology was born in the 1970s, transplantable tissues were investigated in the body based on the anatomy of blood vessels and nerves, and various techniques were born. After many clinical trial and error, it has developed and refined. For future development of plastic surgery, we can name tissue regenerative medicine and fertilized medicine.
In the history of its development, reconstructive surgery hurts another part of the patient's body (taking an organization to transplant) in order to reconstruct a "part of" the patient's body. did. Various types of surgical procedures developed in the field of plastic surgery continued to develop through a period of rapid growth and came into a mature period in the 21st century. Plastic surgery now faces the need to justify and minimize potential risks and body sacrifices associated with each operation. Its ultimate solution is regenerative medicine that creates tissue from zero (stem cells). We have also learned that even if we do not make tissues and organs inside the test tube, just controlling the behavior of the stem cells present in the body from outside the body can properly renew the tissue inside the body. The development of technology to control the behavior of cells has become the path of this medical treatment.
Plastic surgery has been reaching its therapeutic objective mainly by changing the shape and quantity of tissues. However, it was impossible to change or improve the quality (function) of the organization. Poor morbid tissue, it is ischemia, tissue without curative ability, reserve ability, extensio
