Microsurgery

The hand is considered one of the most complex structures in the human body due to its intricate anatomy. Your hands are a complex system of various bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Without the healthy functioning of the hand we are unable to perform activities of daily living. The hand is one part of the body that is very susceptible to injury or disease. Some of these conditions include:

The intricate anatomy of the hand requires very delicate surgery, often with microscopic techniques. Microscopic hand surgery is a surgery performed on minute structures like nerves and blood vessels in the hands and fingers with specially designed instruments under a microscope. During the surgery, the damaged areas are repaired and reshaped. Moreover, flaps and grafts of bone, skin, muscle or other tissue from a healthy donor or the patient’s own body are often used for reconstruction of the affected structures. If required, small blood vessels are also repaired by using small needles with very fine sutures. The microscopic surgery improves the aesthetic appearance of the hand and also can restore the functionality of the hand. Rehabilitation therapy may also be required in some cases.
