Upper-limb procedures at the European Institute of Plastic Surgery are conducted to re-establish mobility, reduce pain, and optimise the general movement of the hands and wrists. Numerous individuals suffer from wrist and joint conditions that interfere with daily activities—ranging from chronic motion stress to severe trauma. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, we specialise in leading-edge treatment options that target the delicate anatomy of the manual system, including skeletal elements, tendons, nerve structures, and articulations. If stemming from joint inflammation, damage, or neurological stress, each condition necessitates a deeply tailored solution. That’s why our procedures are carried out by expert doctors using accurate methods such as precision surgery and the modern wide-awake approach, which enables patients to remain awake during the procedure while remaining pain-free. Recovery care is an important part of the care cycle. Our recipients benefit from individualised physiotherapy regimens that are designed to rebuild resilience, mobility, and coordination as quickly and safely as feasible. With a focus on both practical and cosmetic results, the European Institute of Plastic Surgery ensures that each case is provided with the top-tier quality of care throughout their process—from assessment to complete healing.
CTS is a widespread issue that occurs when the main wrist nerve, which travels within a small channel in the wrist, becomes pinched. This can result in issues such as numbness, pins and needles, and muscle fatigue, especially in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, carpal tunnel release surgery is a regular treatment designed to ease compression and return proper hand mobility. The intervention involves making a tiny cut in the area and cutting the ligament, which reduces pressure on the median nerve. Thanks to techniques like WALANT, many patients can have this procedure easily without being fully sedated and even notice rapid improvement. Follow-up treatment may require support, and a limited downtime, followed by guided rehabilitation to restore full function and range of motion. With precise technique and strategic preparation, our experts ensures that the postoperative journey is as comfortable and efficient as expected. The purpose is to eliminate symptoms, avoid further deterioration, and help patients get back to their usual routines with restored functionality and use of their hand.
Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve—also called the “funny bone” pathway—becomes compressed at the bend of the arm. This problem can cause discomfort, tingling, or pins and needles that extends along the arm and into the fourth and fifth digits. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, ulnar nerve decompression is recommended to relieve this nerve entrapment and prevent permanent nerve damage. The operation consists of widening the space around the affected nerve by freeing the surrounding tissues, thereby enable better nerve mobility. Depending on the patient, the doctor may also move the nerve to reduce risk of future compression. The technique is performed under local or regional anaesthesia, often on an same-day discharge plan. Postoperative progress usually involves a period of rest followed by targeted exercises to regain function and enhance movement. With EIPS's trusted hands and individualised recovery plans, clients typically experience a clear relief and an enhanced capacity to perform daily tasks.
Ulnar nerve compression at the wrist, also referred to as wrist nerve entrapment, arises when the nerve running through Guyon’s canal becomes trapped as it travels within a small tunnel in the wrist called the ulnar canal. This condition can lead to grip difficulty, numbness, and compromised precision, particularly affecting the ulnar side of the hand. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, wrist nerve release is offered to alleviate nerve pressure and restore motor control. The procedure involves identifying and releasing the tissues that are constricting the nerve, such as fibrous bands, without damaging other structures. By freeing the wrist nerve, individuals often feel early improvements from pain and hand function. The surgery is typically conducted using local or regional anaesthesia, minimising downtime and supporting a smoother recovery. At EIPS, each care pathway is tailored to the patient, with postoperative rehabilitation aimed at preventing recurrence. With advanced skills and modern surgical techniques, our goal is to help individuals restore comfort in their everyday function and return to their usual tasks as quickly and comfortably as possible.
First dorsal compartment syndrome is a bothersome syndrome involving the soft tissues on the thumb side of the hand, often triggered by recurrent motion. Patients living with this problem typically experience discomfort when grasping, turning the wrist, or raising items. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, we perform expert surgical treatment for De Quervain’s tenosynovitis when conservative approaches such as splinting or NSAIDs no longer deliver sufficient improvement. The operation requires making a small incision over the problem area and carefully releasing the swollen covering that is compressing their glide. This release enables the tendons to slide smoothly again, reducing pain and regaining mobility. The procedure is typically completed under local anaesthesia and does not necessitate an inpatient admission. Postoperative recovery is simple, with most individuals resuming light activities within a couple of weeks and eventually resuming full function. Our team provides individual attention before and after surgery, supporting that patients follow their rehabilitation plan and experience the optimal result. By treating the underlying issue with skill, EIPS helps bring back confidence and freedom to the wrist.
Synovial cysts are harmless, gel-like swellings that often form near the articulations or tendons of the upper extremity. While they are generally non-threatening, they can become uncomfortable, limit mobility, or impact normal routines when located in frequently used spots. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, ganglion surgery is recommended as an lasting approach for individuals whose cysts do not resolve through alternative options or keep returning. The operation consists of the careful removal of the fluid mass along with its base to lower the chance of recurrence. Using precise surgical techniques, our experts avoids disturbance to surrounding tissues. The operation is typically performed under local anaesthesia, and most cases can return home the same day. Postoperative care is relatively quick, with minimal strain of the area allowed within a couple of days and full activity resuming in a matter of weeks. At EIPS, we focus on not only resolving the visible cyst but also on improving long-term outcomes and optimising the overall function of the hand or wrist. Our patient-centred approach guarantees patients feel supported throughout their care journey—from consultation to full recovery.
Tendon damage in the upper extremity are often the outcome of accidents, such as cuts or forceful blows, and can significantly limit the ability to move fingers. The flexor and extensor tendons are responsible for digital mobility, and when they are torn, surgical intervention is typically necessary to regain function. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, our surgeons carries out tendon repair surgeries using highly specialised precision tools intended to reconnect these vital tissues with accuracy. The aim is to re-establish continuity in the tendon fibres and support their smooth gliding during rehabilitation. The procedure is typically done under minimal sedation, followed by a carefully structured therapy plan. Because these tissues can be susceptible to adhesions and scar tissue, supervised exercises is crucial for recovering function and grip. At EIPS, every case is assigned a personalised recovery plan, with ongoing support to guide healing outcomes. Whether the injury is fresh or involves delayed treatment, our expert team work meticulously to maximise recovery. Through high-level precision and tailored rehabilitation, clients can regain functional use of their fingers and resume everyday activities with confidence.
