What is Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue?
Your skin has three layers, i.e., hypodermis, dermis, and epidermis, which are very significant in their anatomy. The hypodermis is the lowermost layer of the skin, which protects your skeletal system, muscles, and tissues from any harm. The dermis is the skin's thickest layer, located between the hypodermis and epidermis. It includes connective tissues, blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, sweat and oil glands, and many other important organs. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, which protects the body from any harm.
Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Surgery
Skin and subcutaneous tissue, or soft tissue, surgery is the surgery performed to treat any infection of the skin or soft skin. This includes simple to severe necrotizing infections and can be performed for either medical or cosmetic reasons (plastic surgery).
Surgery is frequently required to remove malignancies or suspicious masses that develop in the body's soft tissues and to establish a diagnosis. You might need surgery for lump removal, skin lesion removal, abscess draining, cyst removal, or cellulitis (bacterial infection treatment).
Skin and Subcutaneous Surgery Procedures
In many cases, skin surgery may not be required, but if the disorder is invasive or life-threatening, then your doctor might recommend surgery. For a patient with a skin disorder to be successfully managed, the exact extent of the disease must be diagnosed.
Depending upon the severity of the disease and infection diagnosed, the doctor opts out of the correct surgical procedure. The type of skin treatment includes skin biopsy, skin grafting, Mohs surgery (for skin cancer), electrosurgery, cryotherapy, skin CO2 laser resurfacing, curettage, and cautery.
Skin and subcutaneous infections are also known as skin and soft tissue infections, or SSTIs.
Common Disorders Affecting Skin Tissue
Dry and irritated skin: This is the most common cause leading to a skin infection. A doctor will always advise you to keep your skin clean and moist.
Bacterial infection: A skin infection develops when bacteria enter deep inside the skin causing inflammation and swelling. Some common skin infection includes cellulitis, impetigo, furuncles, folliculitis, and carbuncles.
Breach in the epidermis: When an infection breaches the epidermis layer of the skin through hair follicles, sweat ducts, or other natural openings.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI): This occurs when veins in your leg get damaged due to blood clots or improper blood flow through one-way valves.
List of Skin Tissue Surgeries:
- Cyst: Treatment of a fluid-filled sac or lump underneath the skin.
- Tumor: A surgical procedure used to treat abnormal skin tissue growth.
- Laceration: Treatment of a cut or wound in the skin tissue.
Cost of Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Surgery
The cost of skin and subcutaneous tissue surgery in India range from Rs. 20,000 INR and can rise up to 1 lakh. However, the price varies according to the type of disorder, the type of surgery required, etc.
