Hand Surgery

Why Microsurgery?

Reconstruction of the tiny tubes that are arteries, veins and nerves, and the ligaments in the hands can be performed under the intense magnification and brilliant illumination of the versatile operating microscope by well-trained and experienced microsurgeons.

The microsurgical pioneers in our team have already successfully replaced totally severed fingers and hands, etc, since the 70's and are totally familiar with all the reconstructive techniques to get back the most movement and feeling possible even years after severe damage to the hands. We are even more familiar with those common problems where the damage is not so severe and our skills are comprehensive.

Suitable Cases for Microsurgery?

We would argue that tiny nerve repairs and grafts are ideal for the microsurgical approach, as are all the vascular repairs in and around the hands. Precise hand movements and feeling are vital to everyone.

Using Microsurgery for:

 
  • Hand Reconsructions after severing or other traumas
  • Nerve Injuries - Repairs and Grafts
  • Finger Transfer (toe to finger)
  • Arterial and Venous Repairs
