Hand and Microsurgery in Izmir

Hand surgery has held a special place as a separate subspecialty in our country since 2013. Previously considered a special area of interest, it has now emerged as a distinct medical field.

In the past, conditions that fell between plastic surgery, orthopedics, cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, dermatology, and oncology were addressed by various specialists. Today, highly trained experts are being educated to handle all these conditions independently. This includes a vast range of procedures involving the upper and lower extremities, from microsurgical operations to bone, muscle, tendon, vessel, and nerve injuries, as well as congenital deficiencies, benign and malignant tumors, arthroscopic joint procedures, total joint replacements, and both surgical and non-surgical treatments such as splinting and rehabilitation.

Due to the high demand for emergency cases and the need for a dedicated specialty, hand surgery is one of the rarest medical fields in our country, having only recently gained official recognition. Like in the rest of the world, there is a significant shortage of specialists in this area in Turkey as well.

From simple splinting to the most advanced procedures performed under a microscope, such as finger reattachments and free tissue transfers, hand surgeons provide a broad spectrum of treatments. Tendon transfers, tendon repairs, all types of lacerations, gunshot wounds, open wounds that cannot be closed with simple stitches, open fractures, crushing and cutting injuries to the hands, arms, legs, and feet, as well as conditions like Kienböck’s disease, which affects bone circulation, all fall within the domain of hand microsurgery.
