Hand surgery performed by plastic surgeons focuses on restoring both function and appearance of the hand and wrist following injury, disease or congenital conditions. These procedures can address issues such as nerve compression (like carpal tunnel syndrome), tendon injuries, hand fractures, arthritis, or soft tissue conditions such as ganglion cysts, Dupuytren’s disease and scar contractures. Plastic surgeons are skilled in delicate microsurgery techniques that repair nerves, blood vessels, and soft tissues to maximise hand mobility and sensation while minimising scarring. The goal is to help patients regain strength, dexterity, and appearance, improving their ability to perform daily activities and ultimately function normally.
Wounds, Skin Loss, & Soft Tissue Trauma
Plastic surgeons are highly trained in managing wounds, skin loss, and soft tissue trauma to the hands. Whether caused by injury, infection, or surgery, these delicate areas require precise assessment and repair to preserve both function and appearance. Dr Yez uses advanced techniques including grafts, flaps, and microsurgery to restore damaged tissue, promote healing, and help patients regain strength, mobility and function of their hand.
Tendon/Nerve/Vessel Injuries
Injuries to the tendons, nerves, or blood vessels in the hand can significantly affect movement, sensation, or the viability of parts or the whole hand and limb ultimately impacting function. These delicate structures often require precise surgical repair to restore normal use and prevent long-term complications. As a Specialist Plastic Surgeon with extensive microsurgical training, Dr Yez is experienced in managing complex hand trauma—including lacerations, crush injuries, and deep wounds—using advanced techniques to repair and reconnect these vital tissues, supporting optimal recovery and hand function.
Dupuytren's Contracture/Carpel Tunnel/Trigger Finger Release
Conditions such as Dupuytren’s contracture, carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger are common causes of pain, stiffness, and restricted movement in the hand. These issues can often worsen over time if left untreated. As a Specialist Plastic Surgeon, Dr Yez will fully assess you, diagmose your hand condition and offer surgical solutions to relieve pressure on nerves and tendons, release tight tissues, and restore function. With a focus on precision and prompt recovery, these procedures aim to reduce discomfort and improve your ability to use your hands in everyday life.
