Hand Surgery Procedure at ATX in Austin
Our advanced hand surgery is performed safely with proven techniques and equipment. Here’s a brief overview of the entire procedure:
- Before the Surgery: Patients undergo diagnosis, such as scans and blood tests, to check their health. They also talk with the surgical team to discuss the possible risks, and what they can expect afterward, as every surgery is planned to their needs. The night before surgery, patients shouldn’t eat or drink after midnight. They can take medications with a sip of water after midnight or in the morning before surgery unless advised otherwise by the surgeon.
- During the Surgery: Hand surgery includes different treatments, and the exact surgical procedure is based on the patient’s condition. Usually, the patient is given anesthesia, and the surgeon makes incisions to access the affected area. They might repair tendons, ligaments, and nerves, remove unhealthy tissue, or stabilize broken bones. Once the operation is complete, the incisions are closed, and the area is covered.
- After the Surgery, Patients receive instructions on how to care for themselves at home. They may expect mild discomfort and drainage and should avoid strenuous activities for a week, limiting bed rest, too. This includes caring for their wound, managing pain, and exercising. They also have follow-up appointments to check how they’re doing and ensure they’re healing well.
