Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a compression neuropathy that occurs due to the compression of the median nerve wherever it passes through a narrow area called the carpal tunnel at wrist area. The symptoms include numbness within the thumb, index, and middle fingers particularly at night or upon waking up in the morning. It is treated by releasing the constriction by minimal access surgery.

Microsurgery (for finger deformities)
Replantation of a single finger or multiple fingers are often done through surgical procedure. In case of multiple finger amputation, one or more fingers can be replanted in a manner that it will allow functioning of the hand. Replantation surgery is followed by rehabilitative physiotherapy for hand.

Brachial Plexus Surgery: Brachial Plexus are bunch of nerves connecting brain with hands. If there is any injury to them then it needs highly complex procedures like Neurotisation (Nerve Transfers) for correction. Best results are seen if the injury is recent and not involving all the nerves.

Nerve Palsy: Various Nerves like Median N, Ulnar N, Radial N may be injured and need either Microsurgical repair or Tendon transfers.
