Biography:

Marco Fraccalvieri Marco Fraccalvieri, M.D. Via Baretti 4 10024 Moncalieri, TO, Italy Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery has two souls in one: a part designed to restore the anatomical and functional integrity of a part of the body that has gone damaged and another purely dedicated to improving the physiognomy. In the field of Aesthetic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine, the principle that guides my profession is definitely "improving without upsetting": it is possible to obtain excellent results, which increase the pleasantness of the person, which make "feel better", which help to "stay better with themselves ", without exaggerating. In this way it is possible to improve the features of an individual without creating caricatures. The strength of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery is transversality. Plastic surgery is present in a capillary way throughout the diagnostic-therapeutic path of all pathologies that require a reconstructive need. Plastic surgery aims not only at the functional restoration of the lost anatomical part, but this concept is inseparable from the best achievable aesthetic result. The "difficult wounds" deserve a separate discussion in Reconstructive Surgery. In fact, most wounds have a rapid course towards healing; in some patients however, despite medical and nursing care, the course is particularly long and complex and does not always evolve into healing. In such cases, the injuries can go to serious complications or they can cause death. These injuries, consequently have a negative impact on physical and mental health and more generally on the quality of life of the patients, are the cause of prolonged hospitalizations and consumption of important resources, with significant repercussions on the health system in organizational and economic terms. Wounds that are difficult to heal can concern acute or chronic injuries of a varied nature and etiology, often in association with immune diseases, infections or chronic diseases. They can be distinguished in:
