ANDREAS SKARPARIS AESTHETIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY
WHERE ART AND BEAUTY MEET SCIENCE In recent years, plastic surgery has catapulted itself into the mainstream, and has become both common and more accepted than ever before. At the Larnaca Center-Andreas Skarparis Aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, we believe that plastic surgery should not be used to drastically change your appearance, but rather, to help enhance your best assets, and help transform some of those unwanted features as well. Hand surgery has tremendously evolved and hand surgeons are using advanced surgical techniques that can restore function and the dexterity to the hand.

HAND SURGERY Hand surgery is a subspecialty of medicine which deals with diseases of the hand covering the area of the elbow and below. Hand surgeons have either a Plastic or Orthopedic surgery background. The hand has a complex and delicate anatomy and extra training and surgical expertise is required for surgeons who deal with diseases of the hand. The purpose of hand surgery is the treatment of a broad range of problems that affect the hand, whether they result from trauma or disease processes. Hand surgery includes procedures that treat traumatic injuries and the pathology of the hands, such as tendon lacerations, nerve injuries, bone fractures, amputations, congenital deformities, repetitive stress injuries, deformities caused by arthritis and similar disorders affecting the joints, etc. The central priority of the hand surgeon is adequate reconstruction of the skin, bone, nerve, tendon, and joints. Proper repair of any injured structures of the hand will restore the function of the hand and dexterity. Early repair from the hand expert and proper postoperative physiotherapy will give the best possible outcome. In some cases, the patient s hand may require several operations over a period of time to complete the repair. Dr. Skarparis gained a vast experience in Hand surgery and Microsurgery from pioneers of this surgical field. He has performed more than 5000 operations both plastic and reconstructive surgeries and surgeries of the hand.
SOME SPECIFIC CATEGORIES OF CONDITIONS THAT MAY REQUIRE HAND SURGERY INCLUDE: Congenital malformations Nerve compression syndromes-carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel syndrome (compression of radial nerve) Arthritis of the wrist and small joints. Arthritis of the base of the thumb Tendon injuries Dupuytren s disease Trigger finger De Guervain s disease Post trauma reconstruction Bone fractures
PLASTIC SURGERY Plastic surgery deals with the repair and reconstruction of physical defects of the body to restore form and function Cosmetic surgery seeks to improve the patient s features on a purely aesthetic level, in the absence of any actual deformity or trauma. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to correct any physical feature which is grossly deformed or abnormal by accepted standards. Competency in plastic surgery implies an amalgam of basic medical and surgical knowledge, operative judgment, technical expertise, ethical behavior, and interpersonal skills to achieve problem resolution and patient satisfaction.

WHERE ART AND BEAUTY MEET SCIENCE Art consists in the conception of the result to be produced before its realisation in the material. An artist, therefore, must not only be able to conceive the end result to be produced but he must also be able to visualise all the necessary steps needed to achieve it. He must have the imagination, intelligence and dexterity to bring about that result. Is not then plastic surgery an art and the plastic surgeon an artist? The plastic surgeon works with living flesh as his clay, he uses skin, fat, bone, cartilage and fascia in building up the parts. His work of art is the attempted achievement of normalcy in appearance and function.
