Hand surgery is routinely performed by Our Chief Surgeon who performs hand surgery this requires great precision and sometimes the use of a microscope, he also treats common hand fractures as well as operating on hand injuries that require repair of the small nerves or tendons in the fingers. The joints in the hand are particularly intricate and require special care. Mr Uppal regularly undertakes hand surgery both in the NHS and in private practice.
The care after hand surgery is very important which is why we have a dedicated team of specialized physiotherapists that look after patients after their hand surgery.
Common procedures performed by Our Chief Surgeon include carpal tunnel release, Dupuytren's' contracture release, hand cyst removal, finger joint replacement, hand tendon repairs and the treatment of hand infections. As well as emergency surgery, Mr Uppal also performs reconstructive surgery to the hand where required.
