Hand Surgery
What Is It?
Hand surgery is a specialized surgical field aimed at treating trauma, congenital anomalies, tumors, nerve compressions, and functional disorders involving the bones, muscles, tendons, vessels, and nerves of the hand, wrist, and forearm. Replantation, which involves reattaching a severed finger, hand, or arm using microsurgical techniques, is one of the most critical and life-saving procedures in hand surgery.
Surgery Duration and Type of Anesthesia
The duration of surgery varies depending on the procedure, ranging from 30 minutes to 4 hours. Local, regional (nerve block),or general anesthesia may be preferred. In replantation cases, the surgery may take up to 8 hours.
Why Is This Surgery Preferred?
Hand functions are critically important for daily life. Conditions such as loss of function after trauma or nerve compression can lead to pain and loss of productivity. Through replantation, a lost finger or extremity can be functionally restored. Surgery helps to recover both the structure and function of the hand.

Aesthetics reshapes not only appearance but also self-confidence.
Who Is It Suitable For?
It is suitable for patients who have experienced trauma, have congenital deformities, suffer from nerve compression (carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel),tendon ruptures, or hand tumors. For replantation, cases are considered where the amputated limb has been preserved under appropriate conditions and the patient is in good overall health.
Recovery Process
Postoperative protection of the hand and physiotherapy are crucial. A splint or cast may be required. The rehabilitation process can last between 4–12 weeks. Recovery after replantation may take longer, and long-term follow-up is often necessary to regain sensory and motor functions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does full recovery take?
It varies depending on the condition; minor procedures may heal within 2–3 weeks, while complex repairs may take 2–3 months. In replantation cases, the recovery process may extend beyond 6 months.
Is physiotherapy necessary?
Yes, it is essential to achieve optimal functional outcomes.
Will there be pain after surgery?
Pain may occur in the first few days but can be managed with medication.
When performed with proper planning, an experienced surgeon, and close patient cooperation, hand surgery makes it possible to achieve natural and harmonious results that restore the overall functional and aesthetic balance of the body. Since each patient’s anatomy and expectations are unique, personalized planning plays a key role in the success of this procedure.
