What it is Filled
Surgery that restores the form and function of body parts affected by injury, disease, or congenital difference, or that reconstructs tissue after another operation such as cancer removal; the registry aliases name procedures such as hernia repair, tissue expansion, bone and tissue regeneration and gender-affirming and reconstructive urologic procedures. Reconstructive surgery is a broad field of plastic and specialist surgery, distinct from purely cosmetic surgery, and it is described here factually and neutrally.
Why it exists Filled
