Hand surgery encompasses the treatment of disorders and injuries affecting the hand, wrist, and upper limb nerves. While many conditions can be managed non-surgically using splints, injections, and physiotherapy, some require surgical intervention. Hand surgery operations are often performed as day-cases under regional anesthesia, with the patient awake or lightly sedated. The surgeon utilizes fine instruments and may employ magnifying glasses or an operating microscope to repair delicate structures. Post-operative hand therapy is crucial for optimal recovery.

Hand Conditions We Treat

Conditions that often respond to surgery include:

Symptoms

Diagnosis

Diagnosing a hand injury or condition begins with a thorough physical exam and patient history, focusing on how the injury affects daily life. Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound may be ordered to further assess the injury and rule out other conditions. For added convenience, these imaging studies can be conducted in the same building as the hand clinic.

Innovative Surgical Care

When non-surgical treatments fail to alleviate symptoms, our doctors collaborate with patients to determine if surgery is the best option. We offer a comprehensive range of surgical procedures, including cutting-edge endoscopic techniques, computer-assisted 3D surgery, and innovative microsurgery. A personalized treatment plan is created for each patient, considering their age, activity level, and goals. The surgeon will also discuss the expected recovery time with the patient, which varies depending on the injury and type of surgery.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Hand surgeons pioneered the use of minimally invasive surgery, a technique involving a small incision and a tiny camera to visualize the procedure. Small surgical instruments are then inserted through the incision to perform the surgery. This approach is commonly used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome and diagnose and treat wrist pain. Minimally invasive surgery offers several advantages over traditional surgery.

Open Surgery

In cases where minimally invasive surgery isn’t suitable, open surgery may be necessary. For instance, fractures may require open surgery to properly align and stabilize the bones. Even with traditional open surgery, advancements in techniques enable surgeons to use the smallest possible incisions, leading to faster recovery times.

Surgical Procedures

Our most common hand surgery procedures include:

After Hand Surgery

Effective postoperative care is vital to ensure patients regain full hand function. Our surgeons collaborate with certified hand therapists to create personalized treatment plans, which may include rehabilitation to restore movement and strength. We also recommend fixation devices or technologies to optimize outcomes. Additionally, we can facilitate referrals to local therapists for patients’ convenience.

Reduction procedures

Enlarging procedure

To enlarge your labia majora, your surgeon takes a small amount of fat from another body area, like your abdomen or thigh (in a liposuction procedure) and injects it into your labia majora. Injecting hyaluronic acid into your labia majora is an alternative option.

When will results be at their very best?

The initial swelling, soreness and temporary discoloration decrease over the first couple of weeks after surgery. Most swelling is gone after six weeks. But it may take up to four to six months of healing time for swelling to completely go away before seeing the final results of your labiaplasty. There’s usually little to no scarring.
