Hand Condition treated by Dr. Prashant Kale:
Dr. Prashant Kale treated different hand conditions at Medplus Apex Hospital, Ahmednagar at affordable costs. Here are some conditions
- Carpal Tunnel Release: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the most common compressive neuropathy, or disease of peripheral nerves, in the upper extremity and is characterized by numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, and long fingers.
- Tendon transfers: A tendon transfer is a surgical process in which the insertion of a tendon is moved, but the origin remains in the same location. A tendon transfer involves the redistribution of muscle power, not recreation.
- Surgical Arthrodesis: Arthrodesis, also referred to as a joint fusion, the uniting of two bones at a joint, is typically completed through surgery. In simple terms, the orthopedic surgeon manually straightens out the damaged joint, removes the cartilage, and then stabilizes the bone so that they heal together.
- Surgical Debridement: Debridement is the medical removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue to improve the healing potential of the remaining healthy tissue.
What is microvascular surgery of the hand?
The microvascular technique is the surgical process that demands the delicate and precise use of a microscope to repair nerves, tendons, tissues, and arteries of the hand and fingers. This surgical approach requires a specialist to work on tiny blood vessels, ranging from three to five millimeters in diameter, by using a special microscope. Dr. Prashant Kale also uses specialized instruments such as very small needles that can produce very fine stitches. Microvascular surgery allows us to restore blood supply and repair nerves and prevent total loss of your hand or finger.
