Advanced Hand and Microsurgery Procedures
Gleneagles Hospital Penang offers advanced surgical treatments to address various conditions affecting the hand,
wrist, and upper limbs. Our skilled hand surgeons utilise microsurgical techniques to ensure the highest precision
and patient care. Below are the key procedures we offer:
Microvascular Surgery
This procedure involves intricate surgical techniques that repair or reconstruct small blood vessels, often used
in
reconstructive hand surgery. It is crucial for restoring circulation to damaged tissues, allowing for better
healing
and function.
Joint Replacement
Our orthopaedic
surgeons specialise in joint replacement surgery for the hand, wrist, and upper limbs. This procedure is
designed to replace damaged or arthritic joints with artificial implants, restoring hand function and improving
quality of life.
Tendon Repair and Transfers
Tendon repair and tendon transfer surgery are vital for restoring hand function after injuries or conditions like
wrist tendon injuries. In cases of severe tendon damage, our surgeons perform tendon transfers, where a healthy
tendon is repositioned to restore movement in the affected area.
Nerve Repair and Grafting
We offer nerve repair and nerve grafting procedures for nerve injuries in the hand and upper limbs. These
microsurgical interventions aim to repair damaged nerves or use grafts to reconstruct nerve pathways, helping to
restore sensation and function.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint issues in the hand and wrist. Our
surgeons can use small incisions and a camera to identify and treat common conditions, such as joint
inflammation,
cartilage damage, or other soft tissue injuries.
Hand and Wrist Fusion
Hand and wrist fusion surgery is performed in cases of severe arthritis or instability, where the joint is fused
to
reduce or alleviate pain and improve function. This procedure helps alleviate chronic pain and enhances overall
hand
function.
Dupuytren's Contracture Release
Dupuytren's contracture causes the fingers to bend inward due to the tightening of tissue in the palm. Our
surgeons
perform a Dupuytren's contracture release surgery to loosen the tightened tissue, restoring flexibility and
improving hand function.
Replantation Surgery
Replantation involves the microsurgical reattachment of amputated fingers or limbs. This advanced procedure
requires
careful reattachment of blood vessels, nerves, and tendons to restore function and improve the likelihood of
successful recovery.
Hand and Wrist Ligament Reconstruction
Hand and wrist ligament reconstruction is a surgical procedure designed to repair or replace damaged ligaments
that
connect bones and stabilize joints. This procedure is often performed when ligaments are torn or severely
injured.
The goal is to restore stability and function to the joint. Surgeons may use a tendon graft to replace or repair
the
damaged ligament directly, often with bone anchors or pins.
Scaphoid Fracture Fixation
A scaphoid fracture occurs in the small bone at the bottom of the thumb, typically from a fall onto an
outstretched
hand. Treatment involves wearing a cast or splint for 4-6 weeks to immobilise the wrist or even surgery for
non-union fractures when the bone fails to heal completely. During this time, light tasks can be performed as
pain
allows, and regular finger movements are important to prevent stiffness.
After removing the cast or surgery, rehabilitation continues with exercises to restore wrist mobility and
strength.
Patients should avoid smoking as it can delay healing. Further consultation with a healthcare provider is
advised if
pain or stiffness persists.
