Hand & Microsurgery

Advanced technology plays a crucial role in hand and microsurgery, enabling surgeons to perform complex procedures with precision and efficiency.

Key advancements, such as high-powered surgical microscopes, provide magnification and illumination, allowing surgeons to work on small structures like nerves and blood vessels with enhanced visibility. Specialised microsurgical instruments with fine tips and delicate grips enable surgeons to manipulate tissues with precision, facilitating intricate procedures in microsurgery. Endoscopic procedures that utilise high-skilled techniques, allow surgeons to access and treat internal structures through small incisions, reducing tissue trauma and speeding up recovery in hand surgeries.

These technological advancements continue to revolutionise hand and microsurgery, leading to better patient outcomes, shorter recovery times, and reduction in complications.

Wrist Arthroscopy

Wrist arthroscopy technology offers several benefits, including minimally invasive procedures, smaller incisions, reduced risk of complications, faster recovery times, and improved visualisation of the wrist joint for the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist fractures, ligament injuries, and arthritis. Compared to open surgery, it also typically results in less postoperative pain and discomfort for patients as well as improved surgical outcomes.

Additionally, high-definition cameras improve visualisation, allowing surgeons to see intricate details of the wrist joint. Advances in the miniaturisation of instruments have led to smaller, more precise surgical instruments, enabling surgeons to perform delicate procedures with greater accuracy. Three-dimensional imaging techniques provide surgeons with detailed anatomical information, enhancing preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation. Specialised implants designed for arthroscopic procedures allow for minimally invasive repair of ligaments, tendons, and cartilage in the wrist.

Small Joint Arthroscopy

Small joint arthroscopy refers to minimally invasive surgical procedures performed on small joints, such as those in the hands, wrists, ankles, and elbows. This technology involves the use of tiny instruments and a camera inserted through small incisions, providing high-definition images of the joint, allowing surgeons to identify, diagnose and treat various joint conditions with greater precision, such as arthritis, cartilage damage, and ligament tears. Surgeons can perform a wide range of procedures during arthroscopy, including removing damaged tissue, repairing ligaments, smoothing rough cartilage surfaces, and removing loose bodies, all while minimising trauma to surrounding tissues.

Small joint arthroscopy offers patients a less invasive, more precise, and quicker option for diagnosing and treating various joint conditions, leading to improved outcomes and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Patients undergoing small joint arthroscopy often experience shorter hospital stays, quicker rehabilitation, and faster return to normal activities and work. With smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding tissues, the risk of complications, such as infection, blood loss, and nerve damage, is reduced.
