Hand Reconstructive Surgery
Hand and microvascular reconstructive surgery restores form and function to damaged or deformed hands, fingers, and surrounding tissues. Indications include traumatic injuries, congenital defects, tumors, and vascular conditions. Microvascular surgery involves repairing or reconstructing tiny blood vessels and nerves, often using operating microscopes. Procedures include replantation (reattaching severed limbs), revascularization (restoring blood flow), and transfer of tissue flaps or bone grafts. Hand surgery techniques address fractures, tendon repairs, and joint reconstruction. Goals are to restore mobility, sensation, and aesthetic appearance, enabling patients to regain independence and daily function.
Specialized techniques include:- Digital replantation
- Nerve grafting
- Vascularized bone grafting
- Tendon reconstruction
- Skin and soft tissue coverage
Advances in microsurgical instrumentation, imaging, and supermicrosurgery enhance outcomes. Multidisciplinary teams collaborate to provide comprehensive care. Post-operative rehabilitation involves physical therapy, occupational therapy, and pain management. Risks and potential complications, including infection, scarring, and nerve damage, should be discussed with the healthcare provider
