Healing complex wounds with timely, expert surgical care
Wound care and surgery focus on treating acute and chronic wounds that do not heal with routine care. Dr. Muddappa P. P., an experienced Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon in Bangalore, provides specialised wound management to promote healing, prevent infection, and restore tissue health.
Wounds are expected to heal naturally over time. However, some wounds fail to heal properly due to infection, poor blood supply, diabetes, trauma, pressure, or previous surgery. These are known as chronic or non-healing wounds and require expert medical and surgical care.
At his practice in Bangalore, Dr. Muddappa P. P. offers comprehensive wound care and surgical treatment using modern reconstructive techniques. The goal is not just to close the wound, but to restore healthy tissue, prevent recurrence, and improve quality of life.

Types of Wounds Treated
Dr. Muddappa treats a wide range of wounds, including:
- Non-healing or chronic wounds
- Diabetic wounds and ulcers
- Infected wounds
- Traumatic wounds
- Surgical wound breakdown
- Pressure sores (bedsores)
- Post-burn wounds
Each wound is carefully assessed to understand the cause and plan appropriate treatment.
A Structured and Holistic Approach
Successful wound healing requires more than dressings alone. Dr. Muddappa begins with a detailed evaluation of:
- Wound size, depth, and infection
- Blood supply to the area
- Underlying medical conditions
- Nutritional and lifestyle factors
As a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, he focuses on addressing the root cause of delayed healing. This may include improving blood flow, controlling infection, removing dead tissue, or correcting pressure points.
Clear communication helps patients understand why a wound is not healing and what steps are needed for recovery.
Wound Care and Surgical Treatment Options
Depending on the wound, treatment may involve:
- Advanced wound dressings
- Surgical debridement (removal of dead tissue)
- Infection control and drainage
- Skin grafting
- Local or free flap reconstruction
- Negative pressure wound therapy (vacuum-assisted closure)
Procedures may be done under local or general anaesthesia depending on severity. Many wound procedures are staged to allow gradual healing.
Recovery and Follow-Up Care
Wound healing is a gradual process. Regular follow-up visits are important to monitor progress, change dressings, and adjust treatment.
Patients are guided on wound care at home, hygiene, nutrition, and activity modification. In diabetic or high-risk patients, long-term follow-up helps prevent recurrence.
Dr. Muddappa works closely with other specialists when needed to ensure comprehensive care.

Specialised wound care is recommended for individuals who:
- Have wounds that do not heal for weeks
- Experience repeated wound infections
- Have diabetes or poor circulation
