Abstract

The present study aims to provide a detailed and accurate summary of reconstructive aesthetic hand surgery in medical terms. This specialized surgical intervention comprehensively addresses the functional and aesthetic alterations affecting the hand, through complex and personalized techniques.Aesthetic reconstructive hand surgery is indicated in a variety of clinical situations, including hand trauma, congenital malformations, degenerative diseases, soft tissue defects, tumors and post-surgical reconstruction. Each case requires a thorough and personalized evaluation to determine the most appropriate surgical approach and to achieve satisfactory results.The anatomical complexity of the hand, consisting of bones, joints, tendons, muscles, nerves and blood vessels, requires in-depth knowledge on the part of the surgeon. The multidisciplinary approach, in collaboration with specialists in plastic surgery, orthopedic surgery, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and rehabilitative medicine, is crucial to the success of the intervention.Aesthetic reconstructive hand surgery seeks to restore hand function, improve aesthetic appearance and ultimately improve patients' quality of life. The focus is on repair and reconstruction of affected tissues, correction of deformities, stabilization of joints, revision of scars, and optimization of hand shape and contour
