Hand surgery
Hand surgery is a key element of Plastic surgery. The importance of our hands to master everyday life and the density of important anatomical structures make microsurgical expertise crucial in the surgical treatment of problems with our hands.The surgeon needs detailed anatomical knowledge of the structures of the hands and the ability to repair them should the be affected, be it in the reconstruction of complex hand injuries or in the treatment of soft tissue diseases as well as nerve compression syndromes which constitute the major part of elective Hand surgery, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve (Loge de Guyon) syndrome.
The other very frequent request in elective hand surgery is Dupuytren´s disease, trigger finger as well wrist surgery after trauma or degenerative arthritis, as well as synovialectomy in rheumatoid disease.
We do also perform tendon repairs and repair of fractures of the hand, as well as tendon transfers to restore function in case of degenerative or traumatic loss of function.
Peripheral nerve surgery is also an important part of hand surgery.
