Upper-limb procedures at the European Institute of Plastic Surgery are carried out to restore dexterity, alleviate discomfort, and improve the overall range of motion of the hands and wrists. Many patients deal with hand and joint conditions that impact routine life—including chronic motion stress to sudden injuries. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, we focus on state-of-the-art procedural care that address the intricate anatomy of the upper limb, including skeletal elements, tendons, neural pathways, and articulations. If related to joint inflammation, damage, or nerve compression, each issue requires a deeply tailored approach. That’s why our procedures are carried out by highly qualified specialists using refined methods such as precision surgery and the cutting-edge wide-awake approach, which permits individuals to remain awake during surgery while feeling no pain. Postoperative management is an integral part of the care cycle. Our patients are given individualised recovery plans that are designed to rebuild muscle function, mobility, and dexterity as efficiently and smoothly as appropriate. With a commitment to both clinical and cosmetic results, the European Institute of Plastic Surgery guarantees that each patient receives the highest quality of care throughout their experience—from consultation to complete healing.
CTS is a widespread issue that happens when the median nerve, which runs through a tight tunnel in the hand joint, becomes pinched. This can cause issues such as numbness, prickling, and reduced strength, especially in the first digit, pointer, and middle fingers. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, CTS surgery is a regular procedure aimed at relieve this pressure and restore normal hand function. The intervention includes making a small incision in the area and cutting the transverse carpal ligament, which relieves tension on the nerve. Thanks to innovative methods, many patients can have this procedure easily without being fully sedated and even witness immediate relief. Post-surgical care may involve wrist splinting, and a limited downtime, followed by targeted exercises to restore full capability and dexterity. With accurate execution and specialised focus, our surgeons guarantees that the healing phase is as comfortable and efficient as it can be. The purpose is to resolve discomfort, avoid further nerve damage, and help individuals resume their normal activities with better comfort and dexterity.
Ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow develops when the ulnar nerve—often referred to as the “funny bone” nerve—becomes trapped at the inner arm joint. This issue can result in pain, numbness, or tingling that extends along the arm and into the outer fingers. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, cubital tunnel release surgery is offered to relieve this nerve entrapment and prevent ongoing impairment. The procedure entails widening the channel around the affected nerve by carefully releasing the tightened area, thereby enable better nerve mobility. Depending on the patient, the specialist may also reposition the nerve to prevent re-entrapment. The technique is carried out under minimal sedation, often on an same-day discharge plan. Healing usually requires a short recovery phase followed by targeted exercises to strengthen the arm and improve performance. With EIPS's trusted hands and tailored aftercare, patients typically report a significant reduction in symptoms and an enhanced capacity to manage everyday activities.
Ulnar nerve compression at the wrist, also referred to as compression neuropathy of the wrist, occurs when the key hand nerve becomes trapped as it passes through a small tunnel in the wrist called Guyon’s canal. This condition can cause loss of hand strength, numbness, and loss of dexterity, especially affecting the outer digits. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, wrist nerve release is recommended to alleviate nerve pressure and regain dexterity. The surgical treatment entails carefully freeing the tissues that are squeezing the nerve, such as tight ligaments, without damaging other structures. By freeing the nerve, clients often feel immediate relief from discomfort and improved dexterity. The procedure is typically conducted using local or regional anaesthesia, reducing recovery time and encouraging a smoother recovery. At EIPS, each surgical plan is tailored to the patient, with follow-up therapy aimed at strengthening the hand. With expert techniques and precision-based care, our mission is to help individuals recover ease in their hand movements and reconnect with their daily lifestyle as swiftly and securely as possible.
Thumb tendonitis is a bothersome syndrome affecting the tendons on the radial side of the hand, often triggered by overuse. People experiencing this problem typically experience pain when gripping, rotating, or raising items. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, we offer targeted surgical treatment for De Quervain’s tenosynovitis when alternative treatments such as bracing or anti-inflammatory medication no longer provide meaningful results. The surgical procedure requires making a tiny cut over the problem area and strategically opening the constricted tunnel that is compressing their movement. This release enables the tendons to glide without friction again, relieving pain and regaining comfort. The surgery is typically completed under targeted anaesthetic and does not require an overnight hospital stay. Follow-up care is uncomplicated, with most individuals engaging in gentle movement within a few days and slowly getting back to full function. Our team provides personalised care before and after surgery, supporting that individuals are guided through their rehabilitation plan and experience the optimal result. By treating the cause with precision, EIPS helps bring back ease and freedom to the hand.
Fluid-filled lumps are harmless, fluid-filled swellings that often develop near the knuckles or ligaments of the hand. While they are commonly not serious, they can become uncomfortable, affect function, or disrupt daily function when located in high-use areas. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, cyst excision is performed as an effective solution for individuals whose cysts do not resolve through alternative options or keep returning. The surgery consists of the surgical extraction of the ganglion along with its stalk to minimise the risk of regrowth. Using precise surgical techniques, our experts ensures disturbance to adjacent areas. The operation is typically carried out under targeted numbing, and most cases can be discharged the day of surgery. Recovery is typically smooth, with gentle movement of the hand possible within a couple of days and normal function resuming in a matter of weeks. At EIPS, we focus on not only resolving the surface lump but also on preventing its return and restoring the use of the affected area. Our dedicated care ensures clients feel informed throughout their care journey—from assessment to rehabilitation.
Tendon damage in the manual region are often the outcome of injury, such as cuts or blunt force, and can seriously impair the function of the hand. The key hand tendons are responsible for digital mobility, and when they are severed, immediate repair is typically required to restore control. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, our team offers procedures using advanced precision tools crafted to reattach these delicate structures with precision. The focus is to bridge the rupture in the tendon fibres and facilitate normal movement during activity. This intervention is usually performed under targeted anaesthetic, followed by a carefully structured therapy plan. Because these tissues can be prone to stiffness and fibrous buildup, timely rehabilitation is essential for recovering function and strength. At EIPS, every individual is assigned a specific aftercare schedule, with ongoing support to track healing milestones. Whether the injury is fresh or involves delayed treatment, our experienced surgeons handle cases with precision to maximise recovery. Through high-level precision and strategic therapy, clients can reclaim practical ability of their hand and go back to everyday activities with ease.
