Further information
Dr. Thomas Biesgen received his MD at Heidelberg University 2000 and after his training in world-known departments (e.g. UCLA, Los Angeles, University Bordeaux, Paris, Munich, Toronto), he passed the board exams 2007 in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery in Munich.
During the last years he has gained extraordinary experiences in different countries and he sub-specialized in hand surgery, reconstruction of the upper limb/reconstructive microsurgery, including breast reconstruction and aesthetic surgery, finally as Consultant at the University Hospitals in Leeds and Cambridge in the UK.
Personal Statement
“I have been a plastic surgeon for more than 16 years. During this time I was lucky to experience a wide range of operations in many different countries. Only this way I was able to observe different consultants’ approaches to similar operations and could amalgamate their skills into my practice.
Reconstructive Microsurgery is of my specific interest and I have tried to tailor my development also towards this field. One of my career aims is to broaden my exposure to different surgical techniques in order to give my patients the feeling that they are always treated with the adequate and best method.
Moreover, I am happy to teach others so that they can share my knowledge. Also my voluntary work as a doctor in third world countries is valuable for me. My main aim as consultant as part of the medical group is to be involved in research development specifically in reconstructive surgery, hand surgery and microsurgery."
