General plastic surgery involves the surgical repair and reconstruction of tissues affected by injury, disease, congenital conditions or previous surgery. It can encompass wound management, skin grafting, soft tissue reconstruction and treatment of a wide range of acquired and congenital conditions.
Cases involving plastic and reconstructive procedures can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to diagnosis, consent, surgical planning, operative technique, wound management, complications and subsequent outcomes.
