Upper-limb operations at the European Institute of Plastic Surgery are conducted to re-establish function, minimise symptoms, and enhance the overall range of motion of the upper extremities. Numerous patients experience manual and wrist issues that impact everyday life—including repetitive strain injuries to sudden injuries. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, we specialise in state-of-the-art treatment options that resolve the complex anatomy of the hand, including bones, fibrous bands, nerve structures, and articulations. Whether stemming from arthritis, trauma, or nerve compression, each condition necessitates a highly individualised solution. That’s why our procedures are performed by board-certified specialists using precise methods such as minimally invasive surgery and the modern local anaesthesia technique, which enables patients to remain awake during the operation while feeling no pain. Recovery care is an essential aspect of the treatment process. Our patients benefit from tailored recovery plans that are designed to regain strength, range of motion, and dexterity as quickly and smoothly as feasible. With a priority of both clinical and visual results, the European Institute of Plastic Surgery ensures that each individual is provided with the gold standard level of attention throughout their journey—from evaluation to complete healing.
CTS is a common condition that arises when the main wrist nerve, which travels within a tight tunnel in the hand joint, becomes pinched. This can result in issues such as numbness, pins and needles, and weakness, especially in the first digit, index, and central fingers. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, carpal tunnel release surgery is a frequently performed operation intended to ease compression and restore optimal hand use. The operation involves making a tiny cut in the wrist and cutting the transverse carpal ligament, which eases strain on the median nerve. Thanks to innovative methods, many patients can undergo this treatment easily without being fully sedated and even notice immediate relief. Follow-up treatment may include immobilisation, and a short rest phase, followed by guided rehabilitation to regain full function and range of motion. With precise technique and careful planning, our team ensures that the healing phase is as smooth and efficient as it can be. The goal is to eliminate symptoms, halt further complications, and help patients get back to their usual routines with better comfort and use of their hand.
Ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow arises when the funny bone nerve—also called the “funny bone” structure—becomes pinched at the inner arm joint. This problem can result in pain, loss of sensation, or tingling that extends along the arm and into the ring and little fingers. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, ulnar nerve decompression is performed to alleviate this compression and avoid long-term complications. The operation entails enlarging the channel around the ulnar nerve by removing pressure from the surrounding tissues, thus enable better nerve mobility. Depending on the patient, the specialist may also move the nerve to prevent re-entrapment. The surgical approach is performed under minimal sedation, often on an ambulatory setting. Healing usually requires a short recovery phase followed by physiotherapy to strengthen the arm and restore normal function. With EIPS's trusted hands and individualised recovery plans, patients typically report a marked improvement and an improved ability to use their hand and arm.
Ulnar nerve compression at the wrist, also known as ulnar tunnel syndrome, arises when the ulnar nerve becomes pinched as it passes through a restricted space in the carpal area called the wrist canal. This issue can cause loss of hand strength, reduced sensation, and compromised precision, especially affecting the ring and little fingers. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, ulnar nerve decompression at the wrist is recommended to relieve compression and regain motor control. The operation involves identifying and releasing the structures that are squeezing the ulnar nerve, such as swollen tissues, without disturbing important neighbouring tissues. By freeing the nerve, patients often experience early improvements from pain and improved dexterity. The procedure is typically conducted using minimally invasive anaesthetic, reducing recovery time and encouraging a quicker return to activity. At EIPS, each care pathway is customised, with follow-up therapy aimed at strengthening the hand. With expert techniques and trusted methods, our focus is to help you recover ease in their everyday function and resume their usual tasks as quickly and safely as practical.
De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is a uncomfortable inflammatory disorder impacting the soft tissues on the outer edge of the wrist, often associated with recurrent motion. Individuals living with this problem typically feel discomfort when grasping, rotating, or moving items. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, we perform specialised intervention for De Quervain’s tenosynovitis when non-surgical methods such as bracing or NSAIDs no longer offer lasting relief. The operation requires making a small incision over the problem area and carefully releasing the tight sheath that is compressing their movement. This release enables the tendons to move freely again, reducing pain and improving hand function. The treatment is typically completed under local anaesthesia and does not involve an overnight hospital stay. Healing is uncomplicated, with most recipients returning to daily tasks within a couple of weeks and eventually resuming regular hand use. Our specialists provides personalised care before and after surgery, ensuring that individuals understand their recovery path and achieve the optimal result. By treating the cause with skill, EIPS helps bring back confidence and freedom to the wrist.
Ganglion cysts are harmless, fluid-filled masses that often develop near the knuckles or connective tissues of the hand. While they are typically not serious, they can become irritating, affect function, or impact normal routines when located in sensitive regions. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, cyst excision is offered as an lasting approach for individuals whose masses do not improve with alternative options or keep returning. The procedure involves the careful removal of the cyst along with its root to lower the chance of recurrence. Using precise surgical techniques, our experts ensures disruption to surrounding tissues. The operation is typically performed under local anaesthesia, and most patients can return home the day of surgery. Recovery is typically smooth, with light use of the hand possible within a short time and everyday use restored in a matter of weeks. At EIPS, we emphasise not only resolving the external problem but also on minimising recurrence and restoring the overall function of the affected area. Our supportive strategy ensures patients feel supported throughout their treatment process—from diagnosis to full recovery.
Tendon injuries in the manual region are often the consequence of trauma, such as cuts or forceful blows, and can seriously impair the function of the hand. The flexor and extensor tendons are in charge of finger motion, and when they are severed, immediate repair is typically indicated to recover function. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, our specialists carries out operations using advanced microsurgical techniques crafted to rejoin these vital tissues with care. The goal is to bridge the rupture in the tendon fibres and support their smooth gliding during rehabilitation. The procedure is usually conducted under local or regional anaesthesia, followed by a carefully structured rehabilitation programme. Because tendons can be prone to stiffness and restricted movement, early and guided physiotherapy is essential for recovering function and grip. At EIPS, every patient receives a specific aftercare schedule, with regular monitoring to guide healing progress. Whether the damage is recent or needs complex repair, our skilled specialists operate with care to deliver results. Through evidence-based methods and strategic therapy, patients can recover practical ability of their hand and return to normal life with assurance.
