The Department of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery delivers specialised tertiary care to patients requiring surgery for a variety of reasons and indications. Plastic Surgery is derived from the Greek word, plastikos, which means "to mould". This explains the basic characteristic of plastic surgical procedures, which employs meticulous surgical techniques to mould and tailor the various tissues of the body to either fill a defect created by injuries or tumours, or to enhance the appearance of a certain part of the body.
The Department of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, in addition continues to be involved in the teaching and training of medical students, junior doctors and plastic surgical trainees, and as a vibrant and research-orientated Department, actively contributes to the academic environment of the Hospital.
