Hand Surgery and Microsurgery in Turkey
Hand surgery (also called Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery) is a highly specialized field that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, and shoulder, as well as certain conditions in the leg and foot. This branch of surgery plays a crucial role in restoring both function and appearance after injuries, congenital anomalies, or degenerative conditions.
Because of the delicate nature of the hand and upper extremity, surgeons in this field are also trained in microsurgery?a technique that uses advanced surgical microscopes and fine micro-instruments to repair nerves, blood vessels, and tissues with extreme precision.
Modern hospitals in Turkey combine state-of-the-art technology, robotic systems, and advanced rehabilitation programs to ensure patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
Conditions Treated by Hand Surgery ; Microsurgery
Our expert surgeons treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Traumatic injuries: hand, arm, and leg injuries; tendon, vessel, or nerve lacerations
- Congenital disorders: syndactyly (joined fingers), polydactyly (extra fingers), absence of fingers
- Fractures and dislocations: hand and finger fractures, crush injuries
- Amputations: complete or partial limb and fingertip detachments requiring replantation
- Nerve compression syndromes: carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome
- Tendon disorders: trigger finger, De Quervain?s tenosynovitis, tendon ruptures
- Vascular injuries: brachial plexus trauma, revascularization procedures
- Hand deformities due to burns or scars
- Hand tumors: ganglion cysts, benign and malignant tumors
- Dupuytren?s contracture (progressive thickening of hand tissue causing stiffness)
- Infections ; deformities: fingertip injuries, hand-finger infections, nail deformities
Reconstructive Microsurgery
Reconstructive microsurgery is one of the most advanced fields of modern medicine. It allows surgeons to:
- Replant severed limbs or fingers (replantation)
- Restore blood flow to injured tissue by repairing damaged vessels (revascularization)
- Reconnect nerves to recover sensation and motor function
- Transfer tissue or flaps from other parts of the body to reconstruct damaged areas
These techniques are especially critical in cases of workplace accidents, industrial injuries, traffic accidents, and severe trauma, where restoring functionality can be life-changing.
Thanks to robotic-assisted microsurgery and 3D visualization systems used in Turkey?s leading hospitals, outcomes are more precise and recovery times are shorter.
Recovery ; Rehabilitation
Hand surgery does not end in the operating room?rehabilitation is just as important as the procedure itself.
- Early physical therapy helps restore movement, flexibility, and strength.
- Rehabilitation may last several weeks to months, depending on the injury and surgery performed.
- Outcomes depend on patient age, extent of damage, tissue type, and adherence to therapy.
Even in complex reconstructive surgeries, where perfect results may not be possible, the aim is to maximize hand function and improve quality of life.
