Department of Plastic Surgery

The Department of Plastic Surgery at the Nitra University Hospital was established in 1998, founded by Head Physician MUDr. Peter Siska. Since its inception, its scope has included the full range of plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, burn surgery and microsurgery.

More than 10,000 patients are examined and treated at the department each year.

Over the years, the Department of Plastic Surgery has trained several successful plastic surgeons.

It is currently the only hospital department in the Nitra Region focused on plastic surgery.

The department currently employs 3 board-certified physicians; a further 3 physicians are in specialist training. Since 2011, the Head of Department has been MUDr. Peter Bakoš, PhD.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery – scope of care provided

At the department, physicians provide the full range of procedures within plastic surgery – oncosurgery of skin and subcutaneous tumours and comprehensive reconstruction of defects, traumatic and non-traumatic surgery of the hand and forearm, aesthetic surgery, breast reconstruction, basic treatment of minor burn injuries and subsequent reconstructive procedures, and reconstruction of chronic skin defects. Comprehensive microsurgical procedures are currently not performed at the department.

Within reconstructive plastic surgery, procedures are performed in which the physician modifies and improves body function affected by disease, a tumour or an injury. These mainly include removal of skin and soft-tissue tumours with subsequent coverage of defects after their removal, treatment of injuries to the hand and face, correction of congenital developmental defects, treatment of burn patients, reconstruction by transfer of skin, cartilage and the patient’s own adipose tissue.

This also includes hand diseases and hand surgery: acute injuries to the bones, muscles, tendons and nerves of the forearm, hand and fingers, chronic consequences of these injuries, tendon release after hand injuries, Dupuytren’s disease, entrapment syndromes (carpal tunnel syndrome…), trigger finger.

 

Interdisciplinary specialized care

As one of the few workplaces in Slovakia, in cooperation with the Isotope Centre, the Institute of Pathology and the Oncology Department, we provide comprehensive surgical treatment of malignant melanoma – diagnostic excision, widening of the safety margin, examination of the sentinel (guard) lymph node using a radiocolloid, and, if necessary, comprehensive removal of regional lymph nodes.

The department’s physicians participate in interdisciplinary examinations of patients during meetings of the Melanoma Committee, which takes place every Monday at 1:00 p.m. on the premises of the Oncology Clinic of FN Nitra.

The department’s activities also include breast reconstruction after oncosurgical removal of breast tumours – by mastectomy, quadrantectomy or lumpectomy. These are reconstructive procedures using the patient’s own tissue (flaps, own fat) or silicone breast implants, or a combination of both. The department’s physicians participate in interdisciplinary examinations of patients during the Physicians’ Committee for Breast Diseases, which takes place every other Monday at 1:30 p.m. in the meeting room of the Surgical Clinic of FN Nitra.

This treatment is covered for the patient by the health insurance company.

 

Aesthetic surgery

An integral part of the department’s activities is aesthetic surgery, which focuses on modifying the patient’s appearance and enhancing attractiveness, not for health reasons but for aesthetic reasons.

We provide an almost complete spectrum of aesthetic surgery procedures on the body and face – breast surgery (augmentation with implants or own fat, reduction, reshaping), abdomen (abdominoplasty, correction of diastasis), liposuction, skin lifting of the arms and thighs, labioplasty, face and neck surgery (facelift, neck lift), nose correction (septorhinoplasty), eyelid surgery (upper and lower blepharoplasty), auricles (otoplasty), eyebrows (brow lift), removal of moles, skin growths and subcutaneous lesions (atheromas and lipomas).

However, these services are not covered by the health insurance company; the patient pays for the procedure themselves. See the price list of aesthetic procedures below.

Plastic surgery outpatient clinic

The plastic surgery outpatient clinic is located on the ground floor of the Gynaecology–Urology Pavilion.

Office hours: Monday – Friday 8:00 – 12:30

Tel. contact: 037/ 6545 602

 

Dear Patients,

We all want your outpatient examination to be of high quality, thorough and as quick as possible. Therefore, we ask you to follow the instructions below.

The order of patients in the outpatient clinic is determined by the physician.

Children, healthcare staff and self-payers have priority.

The order is determined by time-slot tickets, which you can obtain via the kiosk at the entrance to the Gynaecology–Urology Pavilion, or via the e-queue on the website: https://www.eporadie.sk/doktor/16150-plasticka-chirurgia.

We do not book patients for outpatient examinations by phone!

For every first examination in our outpatient clinic, each patient must come in person. We do not schedule patients based on photographs without their physical presence in the outpatient clinic.

For the first outpatient examination, please bring:

  • health insurance card
  • a list of medications, the patient is taking
  • referral form from a physician with the relevant specialization

It is necessary that the diagnoses listed are referred by a physician with the stated specialization; a referral form from a general practitioner is not sufficient.

  • moles, skin efflorescences, skin tumours – skin doctor/dermatologist
  • carpal tunnel syndrome – neurologist
  • Dupuytren’s contracture, trigger finger, injuries – orthopaedist/traumatologist

Without an adequate referral form, the procedure will not be covered by the health insurance company.

It is necessary to be able to localize the lesion identified by the dermatologist, so it is advisable to mark the required spot and ideally also take a photo of it on your mobile phone.

Inpatient section of the Department of Plastic Surgery

Hospitalized patients stay in the inpatient section of the workplace, located on the 3rd floor of Treatment Pavilion No. 1 (Surgical Pavilion), where, in addition to standard rooms, 3 above-standard rooms are also available.

If you are interested in staying in an above-standard room during hospitalization, it is advisable to arrange this already when booking at the outpatient clinic. Alternatively, you can report your interest by phone.

The price for one night in an above-standard room is €30.

Telephone contact for the inpatient section:
037/ 6545 602

Consultation clinic for aesthetic procedures

On the premises of the plastic surgery outpatient clinic, a consultation clinic for aesthetic procedures also operates daily, where the patient consults with a physician regarding aesthetic medicine procedures.

Office hours: Monday – Friday from 13:00 – 14:30

If you are interested in an aesthetic consultation, it is advisable to contact a specific physician by phone in advance and arrange the exact examination time at 037/ 6545 602.

Aesthetic medicine procedures are paid by the patient from their own financial resources, therefore we attach the current price list with a list of procedures performed.
