Carpal tunnel syndrome treatment
Comprehensive median nerve compression treatment: from diagnostics to restoring hand mobility.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a neurological disorder that occurs when the median nerve in the wrist becomes compressed. Causes include prolonged strain, trauma, or inflammation in the tendon area. Patients experience numbness, tingling, pain, and a burning sensation in their hands, especially at night. Without proper treatment, the prolonged compression of the nerve can lead to chronic pain, muscle atrophy, hand weakness, and decreased hand function.
During the initial consultation, the hand surgeon will conduct an examination, assess your complaints, and determine if there are any risk factors present. Particular attention is paid to the nature of the numbness and feelings of weakness, which most often affect the fingers excluding the little finger. To confirm the diagnosis, the surgeon may prescribe ultrasound, electroneuromyography, and X-rays if the patient has a history of trauma.
Early stages involve nonsurgical treatment: splinting the wrist, avoiding aggravating activities, and taking meds to reduce inflammation and swelling. The treatment plan might also include vitamins B, physical and physical therapy. In case nonsurgical treatment fails or the disease is prolonged, surgical treatment is performed, which involves cutting the transverse ligament of the wrist under anesthesia. The surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis using a minimally invasive technique. After the surgery, a rehabilitation course with individually selected exercises begins.
We use microsurgical instruments, endoscopic techniques, and microscopic magnification. All procedures are performed in accordance with microsurgical hand surgery standards.
Full postoperative recovery usually takes 1.5 to 3 months. An attending physician will prescribe a rehabilitation course and provide instructions for proper hand exercises. Patients can move their fingers from the first day after surgery and perform daily activities within 12–14 days. They can fully return to their normal routine within 2–3 months.

Lymphatic and venous malformations treatment
Lymphatic and venous malformations are congenital vascular disorders with various symptoms, including pain, swelling, heaviness, and distension. Sclerotherapy and laser treatment are considered the most effective methods of treating such malformations.
