Upper-limb operations at the European Institute of Plastic Surgery are performed to re-establish mobility, alleviate symptoms, and optimise the overall mobility of the hands and wrists. Numerous individuals suffer from wrist and finger issues that disrupt daily tasks—from repetitive strain injuries to severe trauma. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, we specialise in advanced treatment options that address the delicate components of the upper limb, including bones, fibrous bands, nerve structures, and ligaments. Whether related to joint inflammation, injury, or neurological stress, each issue necessitates a highly tailored treatment plan. That’s why our operations are executed by expert surgeons using refined methods such as precision surgery and the cutting-edge local anaesthesia technique, which permits clients to stay alert during the procedure while feeling no pain. Recovery care is an important component of the care cycle. Our patients receive individualised recovery plans that are designed to regain muscle function, range of motion, and fine motor skills as swiftly and smoothly as appropriate. With a priority of both clinical and aesthetic outcomes, the European Institute of Plastic Surgery guarantees that each individual receives the highest level of attention throughout their experience—from consultation to full recovery.
CTS is a frequent condition that occurs when the median nerve, which passes through a narrow passageway in the carpal region, becomes pinched. This can result in issues such as loss of sensation, prickling, and weakness, particularly in the thumb, index, and third digit. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, median nerve decompression is a commonly carried out procedure intended to relieve this pressure and improve normal hand function. The surgical procedure involves making a tiny cut in the area and cutting the transverse carpal ligament, which eases strain on the nerve. Thanks to techniques like WALANT, many patients can experience this procedure comfortably without general anaesthesia and even feel immediate relief. Post-surgical care may involve support, and a limited downtime, followed by targeted exercises to recover full capability and dexterity. With expert handling and strategic preparation, our team guarantees that the recovery process is as smooth and efficient as it can be. The goal is to eliminate symptoms, avoid further complications, and help individuals get back to their normal activities with restored comfort and dexterity.
Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the elbow nerve—also called the “funny bone” pathway—becomes compressed at the elbow. This issue can result in irritation, tingling, or pins and needles that travels through the arm and into the outer fingers. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, cubital tunnel release surgery is recommended to relieve this nerve entrapment and prevent long-term complications. The operation involves opening up the passage around the ulnar nerve by carefully releasing the surrounding tissues, thus allow freer nerve movement. Depending on the case, the specialist may also reposition the nerve to prevent re-entrapment. The operation is done under local or regional anaesthesia, often on an outpatient basis. Recovery usually involves a short recovery phase followed by targeted exercises to restore mobility and enhance movement. With EIPS's specialised expertise and personalised follow-up, clients typically experience a clear relief and an improved ability to use their hand and arm.
Guyon’s canal syndrome, also referred to as wrist nerve entrapment, develops when the key hand nerve becomes compressed as it runs along a small tunnel in the wrist called Guyon’s canal. This issue can cause loss of hand strength, reduced sensation, and difficulty with fine motor tasks, particularly affecting the ring and little fingers. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, Guyon’s canal release surgery is performed to relieve compression and restore motor control. The operation requires identifying and releasing the bands that are constricting the affected structure, such as fibrous bands, without interfering with other structures. By freeing the nerve, clients often report early improvements from pain and better coordination. The operation is typically conducted using targeted numbing, reducing recovery time and allowing for a quicker return to activity. At EIPS, each care pathway is individually designed, with follow-up therapy aimed at restoring motion. With expert techniques and precision-based care, our mission is to help patients restore confidence in their manual activities and return to their normal routines as swiftly and safely as practical.
De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is a painful condition affecting the connective bands on the thumb side of the wrist, often caused by recurrent motion. Patients experiencing this condition typically experience difficulty when gripping, twisting, or raising items. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, we provide targeted intervention for inflamed tendon sheaths when non-surgical methods such as bracing or injections no longer offer sufficient improvement. The surgical procedure requires making a minimally invasive opening over the affected tendons and precisely dividing the constricted tunnel that is compressing their function. This decompression allows the tendons to slide smoothly again, reducing pain and restoring hand function. The treatment is typically carried out under local anaesthesia and does not necessitate an overnight hospital stay. Healing is simple, with most recipients engaging in gentle movement within a short period and gradually returning to full function. Our team provides individual attention from consultation to recovery, guaranteeing that clients are guided through their therapy regimen and reach the full benefit. By treating the root of the problem with skill, EIPS helps bring back confidence and mobility to the wrist.
Ganglion cysts are harmless, jelly-like swellings that often form near the knuckles or connective tissues of the wrist. While they are generally non-threatening, they can become painful, limit mobility, or interfere with everyday activities when located in frequently used spots. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, cyst excision is recommended as an effective approach for individuals whose lumps do not respond to non-surgical treatments or keep returning. The procedure involves the careful removal of the ganglion along with its root to minimise the risk of recurrence. Using refined methods, our experts avoids damage to adjacent areas. The treatment is typically carried out under targeted numbing, and most recipients can return home the same afternoon. Healing is typically smooth, with light use of the area encouraged within a short time and everyday use resuming in a matter of weeks. At EIPS, we focus on not only removing the external problem but also on improving long-term outcomes and enhancing the health of the hand or wrist. Our supportive strategy provides individuals feel supported throughout their healing experience—from diagnosis to rehabilitation.
Tendon injuries in the manual region are often the result of injury, such as lacerations or forceful blows, and can significantly affect the function of the hand. The flexor and extensor tendons are essential for digital mobility, and when they are damaged, immediate repair is typically required to recover movement. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, our surgeons offers operations using highly specialised precision tools designed to reconnect these delicate structures with accuracy. The goal is to bridge the rupture in the damaged area and allow unrestricted motion during activity. This intervention is typically performed under minimal sedation, followed by a closely monitored recovery process. Because these tissues can be prone to stiffness and scar tissue, early and guided physiotherapy is essential for regaining motion and dexterity. At EIPS, every individual is assigned a tailored therapy programme, with close follow-up to guide healing outcomes. Whether the case is acute or involves delayed treatment, our expert team work meticulously to maximise recovery. Through expert surgical care and individualised support, patients can regain practical ability of their hand and return to normal life with ease.
