Why Choose Ohio State for reconstructive plastic surgery?
We specialize in a range of reconstructive procedures
Our doctors are nationally recognized for their expertise in procedures and reconstruction from simple to complex. In fact, the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center offers a breadth and depth of experience unmatched by many others.
Comprehensive care from many specialists all in one place
Our specialty trained physicians work together across departments to provide you with complete care that maintains continuity. For instance, in one trip, a patient with a foot ulcer can be seen by a podiatrist, vascular expert, plastic surgeon or other required physician.
You have access to new technology and procedures through the latest research
Our research has led to advances at Ohio State that aren’t available anywhere else in the region and get patients on their feet faster:
- The Limb Preservation Program: A special program that combines the expertise of multiple specialists to speed wound healing and preserve limbs
- LUNA™: Noninvasive vascular imaging technology that shows how much blood flow is present to support wound healing and the development of new blood flow as a result of wound healing treatment
- Microsurgery: Typically used for cancer, but also applied by our surgeons to expedite healing of wounds like leg and foot ulcers
