Specialist hand surgery services
Our Sydney private hospital facility treats both adults and children for a range of hand and wrist surgical requirements. Hand surgical procedures performed at Hornsby Day Surgery include:
- Carpal tunnel release: surgery is used to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist to alleviate the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (numbness and tingling in the hand).
- Release of trigger thumbs or fingers: releasing the constricted tendon which can cause a finger or thumb to become fixed in a bent position.
- Dupuytren’s disease: to correct impaired hand function caused by thickened cords of tissue in the palm.
- Microscopic repair of hand nerves and vessels: restoring sensation and circulation by repairing damaged nerves or blood vessels in the hand using microscopic techniques.
- Tendon repair surgery: injured tendons in the hand are rejoined or grafted, to allow the return of proper function and movement.
- Excisions of ganglions: fluid-filled cysts that develop near joints or tendons in the hand or wrist are removed to alleviate discomfort or pain.
- Open and closed reduction of hand and wrist fractures: realigning fractured bones in the hand or wrist through open surgery or closed reduction (no incision).
- Removal of foreign bodies: extracting objects lodged in the hand or wrist and repairing tissue damage.
Undergoing hand surgery at the San’s private day surgery facility in Hornsby offers patients access to advanced surgical treatments in a comfortable environment.
Comprehensive care
Before coming to hospital for hand or wrist-related surgery, your specialist will begin with a comprehensive pre-operative assessment and then prepare an individual treatment plan. With the support of diagnostic tools and imaging techniques, our hand and wrist surgeons accurately diagnose and plan treatment to optimise patient results.
Following hand surgery, patients are closely monitored before discharge and receive instructions for post-operative care. With a focus on excellence in care and a patient-centred approach, our Sydney private hospital strives to deliver superior outcomes and satisfaction for individuals undergoing hand surgery.
