Hand surgery is a delicate procedure to correct conditions that limit a patient’s ability to perform daily tasks. Microvascular surgery is a complex surgery to address damaged arteries or severed veins. These surgeries are often performed for reconstruction purposes after injury or due to a medical condition where blood circulation has been affected. Microvascular hand surgery procedures can also resolve chronic finger infections that have not responded well to other treatments.

Surgery on the hands is an incredibly delicate operation that only a Microsurgeon is properly trained to perform. These surgeons are educated in both general surgery and plastic surgery because of their need for knowledge about how to operate on blood vessels, nerves and tendons with minimal incidences of complications arising during or after surgeries.

The recovery time from Microvascular hand surgery is longer than that of a simpler hand operation. If other operations have been performed in conjunction with this procedure, it can extend the recovery time.
