Upper-limb surgeries at the European Institute of Plastic Surgery are carried out to restore function, minimise discomfort, and enhance the overall mobility of the hands and wrists. Numerous patients suffer from manual and wrist issues that disrupt everyday life—including repetitive strain injuries to traumatic accidents. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, we focus on state-of-the-art treatment options that target the delicate anatomy of the manual system, including joints, fibrous bands, neural pathways, and ligaments. Whether related to arthritis, damage, or nerve compression, each issue necessitates a deeply personalised approach. That’s why our procedures are carried out by highly qualified surgeons using precise approaches such as minimally invasive surgery and the innovative wide-awake approach, which enables clients to stay conscious during the procedure while feeling no pain. Recovery care is an integral aspect of the treatment process. Our clients receive customised physiotherapy regimens that focus on rebuild resilience, range of motion, and fine motor skills as quickly and securely as appropriate. With a focus on both functional and aesthetic goals, the European Institute of Plastic Surgery ensures that each patient benefits from the highest level of care throughout their journey—from assessment to full recovery.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that occurs when the main wrist nerve, which passes through a small channel in the wrist, becomes pinched. This can lead to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness, mainly in the thumb, pointer, and third digit. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, CTS surgery is a regular operation designed to relieve this pressure and return proper hand mobility. The operation includes making a small incision in the wrist and dividing the band of tissue, which eases strain on the affected area. Thanks to newer approaches, many individuals can experience this surgery comfortably without full sedation and even feel quick results. Post-surgical care may include immobilisation, and a brief period of rest, followed by targeted exercises to recover full strength and dexterity. With expert handling and specialised focus, our experts makes sure that the healing phase is as smooth and safe as expected. The aim is to eliminate symptoms, halt further deterioration, and help clients return to their usual routines with restored comfort and use of their hand.
Elbow nerve compression arises when the funny bone nerve—commonly known as the “funny bone” nerve—becomes trapped at the inner arm joint. This issue can result in irritation, numbness, or pins and needles that travels through the forearm and into the fourth and fifth digits. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, ulnar nerve decompression is offered to relieve this pressure and prevent ongoing impairment. The procedure entails enlarging the channel around the affected nerve by carefully releasing the compressed structures, thus give the nerve more room. Depending on the case, the specialist may also move the nerve to prevent re-entrapment. The operation is performed under local or regional anaesthesia, often on an same-day discharge plan. Recovery usually includes a period of rest followed by guided movement therapy to restore mobility and improve performance. With EIPS's expert surgical care and individualised recovery plans, individuals typically notice a marked improvement and an renewed confidence to perform daily tasks.
Ulnar nerve compression at the wrist, also referred to as compression neuropathy of the wrist, occurs when the ulnar nerve becomes trapped as it passes through a narrow passage in the wrist called Guyon’s canal. This condition can result in loss of hand strength, numbness, and compromised precision, especially affecting the ring and little fingers. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, Guyon’s canal release surgery is recommended to alleviate compression and regain motor control. The operation involves identifying and releasing the bands that are compressing the ulnar nerve, such as fibrous bands, without disturbing other structures. By releasing the wrist nerve, individuals often report early improvements from numbness and improved dexterity. The procedure is typically conducted using targeted numbing, allowing early discharge and encouraging a smoother recovery. At EIPS, each care pathway is individually designed, with postoperative rehabilitation aimed at strengthening the hand. With experienced hands and trusted methods, our mission is to help individuals recover comfort in their manual activities and resume their daily lifestyle as quickly and comfortably as practical.
First dorsal compartment syndrome is a bothersome condition affecting the soft tissues on the radial side of the hand, often triggered by repetitive hand movements. Patients suffering from this problem typically experience discomfort when holding objects, rotating, or moving items. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, we perform specialised intervention for this condition when non-surgical methods such as bracing or anti-inflammatory medication no longer deliver sufficient improvement. The intervention requires making a minimally invasive opening over the problem area and precisely dividing the tight sheath that is restricting their glide. This decompression allows the tendons to glide without friction again, reducing pain and improving hand function. The procedure is typically carried out under regional numbing and does not necessitate an inpatient admission. Follow-up care is straightforward, with most individuals returning to daily tasks within a couple of weeks and gradually returning to regular hand use. Our specialists provides personalised care throughout the journey, guaranteeing that patients understand their therapy regimen and experience the best possible outcome. By treating the root of the problem with care, EIPS helps bring back confidence and function to the thumb.
Ganglion cysts are noncancerous, jelly-like swellings that often form near the knuckles or tendons of the upper extremity. While they are generally harmless, they can become uncomfortable, affect function, or interfere with normal routines when located in frequently used spots. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, cyst excision is recommended as an reliable solution for clients whose cysts do not respond to alternative options or keep recurring. The operation requires the excision of the ganglion along with its root to reduce the likelihood of return. Using refined procedures, our experts ensures damage to adjacent areas. The treatment is typically performed under minimal sedation, and most recipients can return home the same afternoon. Recovery is generally fast, with gentle movement of the area allowed within a few days and normal function returning in a matter of weeks. At EIPS, we focus on not only treating the surface lump but also on preventing its return and restoring the health of the affected area. Our dedicated care provides patients feel supported throughout their care journey—from diagnosis to rehabilitation.
Tendon damage in the upper extremity are often the result of injury, such as lacerations or blunt force, and can severely impair the ability to move fingers. The key hand tendons are essential for digital mobility, and when they are torn, immediate repair is typically indicated to restore movement. At the European Institute of Plastic Surgery, our team offers operations using state-of-the-art microsurgical techniques designed to reattach these fine fibres with accuracy. The focus is to bridge the rupture in the connective tissue and support their smooth gliding during activity. This intervention is usually done under local or regional anaesthesia, followed by a customised rehabilitation programme. Because these tissues can be vulnerable to scarring and scar tissue, supervised exercises is essential for restoring strength and dexterity. At EIPS, every individual is assigned a personalised recovery plan, with regular monitoring to track healing outcomes. Whether the injury is acute or needs complex repair, our expert team handle cases with precision to maximise recovery. Through evidence-based methods and individualised support, clients can recover functional use of their fingers and resume normal life with confidence.
