Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A plastic surgery lab that explores wound treatment and reconstruction through surgery and regenerative medicine.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to achieve both aesthetic outcomes and function
Plastic surgery at the University of Tsukuba treats diseases and injuries that affect appearance and function, mainly through surgery.
The conditions it handles include congenital anomalies, wounds, scars, tumors of the body surface, and reconstruction after tumor removal.
One of its features is the large number of reconstructions that use microsurgery.
Its research covers scar treatment and burn treatment using stem cells, surgery for congenital anomalies of the hands and feet, and more.
Key terms
- Scar
- The mark left after a wound has healed. The website lists scar contracture, hypertrophic scars, and keloids
- Adipose-derived stem cells
- Stem cells derived from adipose tissue. The lab focuses on their anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects
- Microsurgery
- A surgical technique for suturing very small blood vessels and similar structures. This department performs many reconstructions using it
ResearchResearch themes
Plastic surgery is a clinical department that treats a wide range of conditions affecting appearance and function, such as wounds, scars, burns, congenital anomalies, and reconstruction after tumor removal. This lab works on treatments using regenerative medicine and on studies of surgical methods and outcomes.
*Illustrative imageScar treatment using stem cells
Focusing on the anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects of adipose-derived stem cells, the lab is developing new treatments for scars after burns. Using mice transplanted with human keloids, it examines whether the culture supernatant of stem cells suppresses scarring.
*Illustrative imageNew treatments for burns
The lab reports cases in which burns were treated with cells from the patient's own skin, either alone or combined with skin grafting. It is also developing a method of transplanting preserved autologous loose connective tissue for extensive whole-body burns and deep burns.
*Illustrative imageSurgery for congenital anomalies of the hands and feet
The lab studies surgery for congenital anomalies of the hands and feet, such as syndactyly and thumb polydactyly. It examines approaches such as the "gradation skin graft," which takes aesthetic appearance into account, and surgery for thumb polydactyly, and presents the results at academic conferences.
*Illustrative imageBreast reconstruction after breast cancer
The lab performs breast reconstruction using autologous tissue or implants, and examines topics such as recovery of breast sensation after nipple-sparing mastectomy and predictors of nipple necrosis.
