Hand Surgery

Restoring the Vital Function of Your Hands

Our hands are essential for nearly every aspect of our daily lives, from the simplest tasks to our most complex interactions. Injuries, trauma, or congenital conditions affecting the hand can lead to severe pain, a debilitating loss of function, and a significant impact on independence. Hand surgery is a highly specialised field of medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating these complex problems, with the ultimate goal of restoring function and improving your quality of life.

Hand surgery encompasses a wide range of intricate procedures performed by highly skilled surgeons. Our comprehensive service in Antalya addresses the full spectrum of hand and wrist issues:

The Primary Goals and Benefits of Hand Surgery

Our focus is on delivering meaningful, life-enhancing results:

• Restored Hand Function: The most critical goal—regaining strength, dexterity, sensation, and range of motion.

Your Hand Surgery Journey

The path to recovery is a partnership between you, your surgeon, and your therapist.

• Procedure Duration: The length of surgery varies significantly depending on the complexity of the case, from 1 to 4 hours.

• The Critical Role of Recovery and Physiotherapy: Recovery can take weeks to months. It is vital to understand that specialised hand physiotherapy is a crucial and required component of the recovery process. This dedicated therapy is essential for managing stiffness, building strength, and achieving the best possible functional outcome.

• Long-Term Outlook: The results of hand surgery are generally permanent, providing a lasting improvement in function and comfort.

• Potential Risks: Specific risks include post-operative stiffness, infection, and the possibility of incomplete recovery of sensation, particularly following severe nerve injuries.
