“Beauty and function in their ultimate expression are synonymous” - PlatoThis underlying thought pervades our department of Plastic surgery, an important arm of the surgical services whose skills are sought by the other departments at one time or the other. Being a horizontal specialty it gets selectively involved in almost every part of the body.The department is well-equipped for an effective functioning. The instrumentation available includes powered instruments for cutting bone and skin, operating microscopes, an access to Co2 laser and equipment for Aesthetic Surgery.
