Hand and Microsurgery Program

The Yale Hand and Microsurgery Program offers the latest techniques and specialized expertise in the replantation of amputated digits or extremities. Reconstructive aspects of ablative surgery about the head and neck, and extremities, as well as problem wounds in the thorax, abdomen and perineum are also offered.

Hand surgery and occupational disorders are coordinated through a multidisciplinary effort directed not only towards traumatic and degenerative disorders of the upper extremities, but also the understanding and treatment of occupation-related disorders. In this program, problems developed in the workplace, including pain and injury related to repetitive tasks, are comprehensively addressed. Diagnostic x-rays and electrophysiology tests are coordinated with surgery and rehabilitation.

The latest techniques and clinical advances are part of the fellowship training which encompasses hand and wrist surgery, endoscopic wrist surgery, endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery, peripheral nerve surgery, microvascular surgery and treatment of congenital hand deformities.
