Reconstructive Surgery
Hand Surgery
Hand surgery can restore function, relieve pain and improve the appearance of the hands for patients suffering from cysts, nerve conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, injuries, birth defects (e.g. webbed or extra fingers) or other problems. Hand surgeons trained in microsurgery can also re-attach or reconstruct severed fingers after a trauma.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is intended to remove cancers while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible and leaving only a small wound. Unfortunately, even this highly precise technique can result in a large wound or a scar, which can be especially upsetting if the tumor was on a cosmetically critical area of the body such as the face or hand. Having a plastic surgeon close the initial wound ensures that post-operative scarring will be kept to a minimum and may even be unnoticeable. Patients who have had Mohs surgery in the past can also come to a plastic surgeon for scar revision.
